Visual technique / style: Digitized spritesĭoom II: Hell on Earth appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.The game adds one new weapon to the player's arsenal the super shotgun, several new demon types with more advanced attacks than those of the predecessor, such as the chaingun-toting Heavy Weapon Dudes, the skeletal Revenants who launch homing missiles and the sinister Arch-Viles who have a highly damaging fire attack. Unlike in Doom, which is divided into three episodes, the 30 levels of this game (plus the 2 secret levels) form one long episode. The gameplay once again consists entirely of navigating the hero from first-person view through 3D environments and shooting at the demons while attempting to find the way out by flipping switches and looking for keys. It's his task to bring down the force field around the last operational star port to allow the remnants of mankind to escape to the stars.ĭoom II looks and plays very similarly to its predecessor, utilizing the same 3D graphical engine with 2D sprites for enemies. After having single-handedly saved Mars from demonic threat, he returns to Earth, only to find out that the demons have already invaded it, killed most of its inhabitants or possessed them.

While numerous poorly-made levels are known to have been made by Harris, the rumor involving the fabled “Columbine level” are refuted by the fact that the engine used for Doom is incapable of rendering levels with multiple floors on top of one another, thus making it impossible to accurately recreate the school.In this sequel to the original Doom, the protagonist is still the same hero - the last remaining space marine.

Soon after this discovery, rumors spread, primarily due to the mainstream media at the time, that Klebold had created a custom level that was an exact replica of Columbine High School in which to practice for the attack. Not only did the boys play the game with an almost obsessive level of passion, it was discovered that they had created their own custom levels. Shortly after the shooting, it was discovered that both Harris and Klebold were avid fans of the first-person shooter Doom. On April 20, 1999, two senior students (Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold) at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado, used explosive devices, shotguns, and carbines to murder 12 students and a teacher, as well as injure an additional 21 people. The ' Columbine Map' legend is an urban legend revolving around the 1993 first-person shooter game Doom.
