Fame

The original Doom revolutionized gaming with what where highly innovative Graphics and gameplay for its time. It used a method of visualization that gave the illusion of 3D (i.e. a 2.5D effect) that allowed it to provide substantial graphics without demanding too much hardware.

After the first two games which can be referred to as classics, Id Software released Doom 3. Doom 3 is a considered a complete outlier of the franchise as it holds little-to-no elements of the other games, and has a bizarre and abrupt switch from the series typical genre of action to survival-horror. The modern reboots which where created many years after the classics and Doom 3 have rebooted the entire series back into the public's view and are well know for their extremely fast-paced action and its high-speed and reflex intensive gameplay.
