Doom strange thing...

Hi there, I was looking to my old Operating Systems box, but I found this strange image:

Look at that mountains, then I wondered (aren't that mountains from Doom?)
Then I got a picture from Google of Doom. (E1M1)

Yes, that mountains are the same.

I have no idea of the location.

Wow, I've finally met a big doom fan that's bigger than my dad and brother.

But Yeah, you're right.

Looks like brazil somewhere, from the paddocks to the jungle...
I've never played Doom, thought it took place on mars though.

I'm afraid they were fresh out of Mars mountain stock images.

Doom 1 was on Phobos or Deimos, actually.

/nerd.

My latest Doom1 experience is quite fresh, but I haven't seen that area nor the background anywhere.

It's either from Ultimate Doom/some other extended version, or a modded level.

OddjobAbe · #8 05-04-2008, 01:53 AM

No. It was on Phobos AND Deimos, Ghost.

And Dripik, that is from the original. I have the full version and the v1.666 shareware version, they've always been there.

I'm off to play it now.

Oddey · #9 05-04-2008, 02:29 AM

Sure is right and that is weird. Cool find there.
Edit: For those of you who want to know the Doom screenshot is from E1M1 in the courtyard. Yeah it's only because I play that level alot.

You might be right, I'm not saying that I know every inch of the game. That building on the right was not familiar to me, that's all.

AND Hell beneath, if we aim to be precise.

OddjobAbe · #11 05-04-2008, 07:35 AM

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

And thank you for the correction. Plus, in Ultimate Doom, you go to Earth.

Strike Witch · #12 05-04-2008, 03:37 PM

And Doom II.

Oh yeah, why exactly WAS Hell underneath Mars' moons, anyway?

Mac Sirloin · #13 05-04-2008, 04:35 PM

OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

I think it was something like "a gateway to Hell's been opened up on one of Mars' moon, and now the crazy place has come through". I have no idea how it happened to be honest. I only vaguely remember the manual.

Because there was two gateways between both Deimos and Phobos. They turned out to be portals from hell. And therefore hellspawn started to come through them. And it started at Deimos. Deimos completely vanished not long after losing communication (Probrably because it had been covered with hellspawn for so long.). And after you complete Episode 2 then you find out it teleported above Hell. And so that is pretty much why. It doesn't clearly state it in the manual, so it's anyone's guess.

Strike Witch · #16 05-05-2008, 12:45 PM

But why were there portals?

Bullet Magnet · #17 05-05-2008, 04:54 PM

Better there than here.

Yeah, that worked out all right.

I remember reading the manual. Some Union Aerospace Corporation was experimenting with teleportation.
