At $5 each, the original Doom and Doom II should provide dozens of hours of old-school fun. I\u2019ve found in revisiting these games that the level design really is spectacular and the gameplay, while of course simple compared to your Dishonors or your Division 2s, is also elegant and carefully calibrated. It\u2019s also amazing how scary these games can still be.<\/p>\n

Not that you haven\u2019t had ample opportunity to play them \u2014 and the thousands of free maps available for PC players \u2014 these last couple decades. But if your console of choice, with your surroundsound system and big screen, is how you tend to play games, then perhaps it\u2019s worth a tenner to put these enduring classics on there.<\/p>\n
Importantly, these include 4-play split-screen deathmatch and co-op. Probably been a while since you played it that way, right?<\/p>\n
As for Doom 3 \u2014 well, my most salient memory of the game is playing the leaked Alpha version, which scared the pants off me and almost put me off the actual game. It was a huge graphical advance at the time, and due to its deliberate use of lighting still looks pretty cool, though of course highly primitive in other ways.<\/p>\n
Is it still any good to play? Ten dollars lets you find out.<\/p>\n
The original two games are also officially available on iOS as well, and will, amazingly, run at about a dozen times the resolution they originally did back in the \u201990s.<\/p>\n
