If there is one thing I could talk about for now, it is the Doom saga. In fact, before I expose you a little knowledge about it, I hope to find other enthusiasts like me on this site. I'll post a photo that was also reposted by one of the creators John Romero and his software house.
Doom is known in the world as a video game with almost no lore, or at most that the anger of the Doom Guy is linked only to the death of his bunny Daisy. Nothing could be more wrong, that event certainly contributed but today the story is so expanded that it makes more sense than one might think.
After the events of Doom 2 and Doom 64, our soldier remains trapped in the underworld, from there on he is found by the UAC who for years traveled between the portals of Mars and the Underworld. Locked in a sarcophagus to contain his fury, the Maykr free him to make him a weapon against the infernal forces. But the Doom Slayer doesn't take orders from anyone and so he goes against everyone, even his own creator. Of course now with the arrival of Dark Ages many other things will be explained but I tried to reduce the story a bit to the essence of the story.
As you can see I'm not only interested in the game, but also in the physical collecting side that led me to read the books. One called Masters of Doom that tells the story of the birth of id Software and everything the creators did at the time. The main inspiration for the demons actually came from Romero's passion for fantasy DnD.
Then there are 4 novels that took inspiration from the game where you could only deduce that our Doom Guy is called Flynn Taggart but the decent story stops at the first two books, after that it becomes almost unreadable and confusing. We also know that he is not alone, that a colleague Arlene Sanders is fighting his same battle and that maybe she could pop up in future chapters of the game (who knows?).
Gentlemen, let's say that maybe it's better if I calm down otherwise this post will become too tedious but if you have any questions about it feel free to leave a comment and I will try to give you clarifications on the matter.
