Happy Birthday, Doom!


On December 10, 1993 the shareware version of Doom was uploaded to an FTP server at the University of Wisconsin. It quickly became one of the best-selling, most critically acclaimed PC games of all time. It revolutionized computer graphics at the time and was one of the first games to offer network multiplayer. The creators of the game also published tools that allowed users to easily create maps and modify the game.
