[edit] Infobox Genre
I wasn't sure what to put, so I picked "History" (it is, after all, about the history of Doom). If anyone has a better idea, I'm all for it. :) --EVula 21:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- "Video game history"? After all, Doom was a major event in vg history. --maru (talk) contribs 04:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

- Wasn't sure how specific I should get for the genre in infoboxes. EVula 05:33, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Film and series?
Davidkushner.com mentions both a Law & Order episode called FPS [1] and more importantly a film based on the book.[2] I haven't read the book (still searching), don't know relevant the info is, but perhaps it's interesting to add, especially since the current article is still pretty short. Speaking of which, shouldn't it at least briefly mention the Bill Gates video; right now the external link seems a bit out of place, unless you know what it's about / have read the book.

[edit] Bill Gates video transcription
I wish there was a transcription for the Bill Gates Doom Video. I tried to write down everything I could understand, but I don't live in an English speaking country, thus I can't understand spoken english very well. This is a transcription made by me with the hope that someone will fix and reintegrates the missing parts.
This game is getting really realistic. [MISS] You may wondering what I'm doing here. Well I'm... I'm getting kind of a inside walk in some of these new games. I need to be amazed, all the new games I'm gonna show you here deceive me. We got a few key points to remember: first, Windows 95 is THE game platform. [MISS] the best performance, the best set up, the best integration [MISS] people are very focused on Windows 95. Thus, it's very impossible doing stairway games. Hard for the developers, hard for the users, [MISS]. A fact in key point is that we think the PC really is the entertainment platform for the future. And we gonna have the best performance, the way to reach out and do multiplayer games, lots of new peripherals and the improvements just keep coming. Our commitment is to make the tools, to make the platform better and better. - Hey Gates! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Don't interrupt me. And a third point is, I really wanna think all our third parties will made this possible. The reaction of the game community has been fantastic. I will be show you here seventy-five new games, all of which will be coming out by the end of the year. We really believe that with your help we'll be able to clean up this tossed mess and get everything focused on Windows. In its hard committment to keep moving ahead and doing that. I'd better go work cleaning up this neighborhood here. So, I'm off. Oh, and, don't forget -ahm when you [MISS] house, don't-don't lose your head. See you.
