Story

You are a soldier in the UAAF (United Aerospace Armed Forces) assigned to the secondary military research base on the darkside of the giant moon Tei Tenga (nicknamed ?the Butt End of Space?). You and four friends are having a game of cards in the hangar bay. One of your friends leaves to go on shift.
Meanwhile, the research team are doing experiments at the anomalies found on the moon. There is a flash of horrible light and energy and two gates open at equidistant points on the moon?s surface, the larger of the two at the lightside. Every awake is quickly killed. One reaching for the alarm button has his hand chopped off. Briefly your friend is grabbed, his hat falling off in the lab. Then they spread out through the airducts and possessing sleeping people with magic.
A short while later, a strange alien creature bursts into the room. (?What the hell??) A fight ensures. Whoever?s left in your squad investigates the base, where a dark tale begins to unfold. A bunch of small hostile alien creatures have invaded the base. Strange symbols are drawn everywhere in the blood of dead soldiers and scientists. The more you go forward, the stranger and grosser the walls become. One your way, you find your friend?s cap.
After you make it to the control lab. You also find a gate to another place in the wreckage of what was a containment chamber. One the other side, you find two huge beasts in a circular natural rock canyon and the remains of the lab team. Between the beasts is your friend and they quarter him. You defeat the beasts, turn to leave, only to find the hole closing! You?re trapped here! You climb the rock walls, and look at your surroundings from the top of this extinct volcano: ?Oh, hell??

bunny ending
TextDoomworld: Who's idea was it for the "The End" bunny scroller at the E3M8 ending, and why was it kept around in Ultimate Doom?

That was in Ultimate Doom, not the original Doom or Doom2.

You can buy the Doom Collectors Edition at many local realitors. I bought my copy at Wal-Mart for $9.99.

What he said. I picked it up for $20 at Best Buy a couple of years ago. It has Ultimate Doom, Doom II and Final Doom in one package.
 
i cheated as soon as i started playing. i still jumped a bit in the beginning. also modded the plasma gun and chaingun to hold more ammo. i hate waiting until the end to get the better weapons. i play for fun, so i don't see the point in dying.

yeah. I'll bet almost everyone here can recite the Konami code too.
