Doom creator id Software used Taiwanese pirates to help distribute the game, John Romero reveals

John Romero, the legendarily long-haired co-founder of id Software and father of game series Quake and Doom, has recounted a tale about when id Software worked with Taiwanese pirates to spread Doom.

The UnDoom key, if you will.

Xbox Has Another Potential GOTY Candidate On Its Hands, Even Though It's Just DLC

The reviews for Revelations have been absurdly good. Last week, we covered a little bit about the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages - Revelations and how people seemed to be really enjoying it, but we didn't necessarily anticipate that it could be a potential Game of the Year candidate. However, as you may have seen in our Metacritic roundup of the best first-half games of 2026 yesterday, Xbox was crowned with the best game in the form of Forza Horizon 6. That one has a 90 average rating on the pla

One Of The World's Most Obscure Consoles Just Got Its Own Version Of DOOM

"An obscure Japanese game console made for little girls finally gets DOOM!". Since its original release on PC back in 1993, homebrew developers have been trying to get DOOM to run on everything, from smart fridges to tractors. This resulted in many unofficial ports of the game to platforms that never originally had DOOM, with Damien having previously covered the ongoing efforts by members of the homebrew community to make a so-called "impossible" port of the game for the Neo Geo, inspired by a s

Preview: DOOM: The Dark Ages - Revelations Is Putting an Endgame in Your Fave PS5 Shooter

Stand and fight again and again. It may have been away from the PS5 game for more than a year, but id Software has finally returned to DOOM: The Dark Ages with a major expansion that's much more than just another campaign.

Why a Neo Geo port of Doom is functionally impossible

Sprite-based graphics architecture makes first-person 3D a challenge.

In the early 1990s, Doom was famously installed on more PCs than Windows itself—but how many was that, actually?
