Here's a question. The first version of DOOM (that is, the first publicly-available version, not counting the betas etc.) actually identified itself as 0.99, not 1.0. Was there a separate 1.0 version afterwards, or did id directly jump to 1.1? -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 01:18, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] DOOM 2 and Final DOOM

Can we mention DOOM 2 and Final DOOM in this article? We could at least denote that some of these ports support DOOM 2 and/or Final DOOM. --SuperDude 06:55, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I removed...

I removed the statement "(most notably the Sony PlayStation version which incorporates elements of Doom II including monsters, into levels based upon the original Doom)." This statement is not entirely accurate. The Playstation version of Doom includes every level of both Doom and Doom II, not just "elements" of Doom II.

Nearly every level, not quite all.PeterCT 13:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jaguar

Needs further info on the Jaguar version. I hear it used most of the buttons on its controller for a huge amount of weapons.

[edit] The Ultimate Doom

The Ultimate Doom redirects here, although this article does not discuss multiple versions of the commercial doom releases. Therefore the redirect seems inappropriate. -- Jon Dowland 13:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I tell a lie, it does. OK, well the information about the different variants of the game (vs. platforms it has been ported to, or derived sources) is not expressed clearly enough. For instance it isn't present in the contents at the top. -- Jon Dowland 13:15, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SNES Doom and Super FX2

The article mentions that the SNES cartridge of Doom did not contain a Super FX2... It mentions that it is "largely untrue" - it is either true or it isn't... the cartridge can't half contain a Super FX processor. In any case, the wiki article on the Super FX refers to the SNES version of Doom, indicating that it *does* contain the chip. One of the articles is wrong, in that case.
