 Computer and video games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Technically, a computer game is a game composed of a computer-controlled virtual universe that players may interact with in order to achieve a goal (or set of goals).
Game may refer to either the virtual universe and all of its governing rules ("Nethack is a game"), or a particular instance of that game ("my game ended in yet another annoying death", "game over").
The input is processed by the game and output is presented as events corresponding to the rules of the game environment, usually on a television or computer monitor.

 DOOM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
DOOM is a first-person shooter computer game, developed by id Software and first released for the PC on December 10, 1993, later ported to various platforms and followed by the sequel DOOM II: Hell on Earth (1994), numerous expansions released during the mid-1990s, and the upcoming DOOM 3.
DOOM's primary distinguishing feature was its realism, enabled by features such as its 3D graphics and stereo sound; the DOOM experience provided a level of immersion that had not previously existed in a computer game.
DOOM exceeded its predecessor in terms of popularity as well as critical reception and influence on the industry, and is today widely regarded as one of the most influential games of all time, laying a foundation for the popularity and further development of 3D action games during the rest of the 1990s.

 Doom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The series lost appeal as the Doom game engine became obsolete after the mid-1990s, but was revived with the 2004 release of Doom 3, a retelling of the original game using new technology, and a subsequent motion picture scheduled for release in October 2005.
Doom was not the first first-person shooter with a deathmatch mode—MIDI Maze on the Atari ST had one in 1987, using the MIDI ports built into the ST to network up to four machines together.
Doom prompted fears that the then-emerging virtual reality technology could be used to simulate extremely realistic killing, and in 1994 led to unsuccessful attempts by Washington state senator Phil Talmadge to introduce compulsory licensing of VR use.

 DOOM Cheat Codes. . . . . . . . . (98/02/10)
In Doom II, the number given must always be two digits; thus, for levels 1 to 9, use 01, 02, 03, etc. idmypos - show current co-ordinates and angle of view in hex notation.
You may need to press the 4-button cheat combination(s) several times, while the game remains paused, in order to get the code entered correctly; the game is very intolerant (the 4 buttons MUST be pressed at almost exactly the same time or the code won't work).
The best way is to pause the game, move the skull cursor away from the EXIT option to something less critical like Sound or Music, then hit the desired button combination 10 times or so.
