This oddly very fun game came in a box of cereal back in the late 90’s. My cousin and I jokingly decided to install it, fully believing it was going to be a terribly made game. However, we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was and played it a ton.

I can’t say if it still holds up and will need to see if I can find a copy somewhere online to check it out, but it randomly popped up in my head recently and needed to share with others who may have also played it.

That's because it's a licensed mod of Doom. Literally, the first level was just the first level of Doom reskinned. I replayed it a few years back, along with 2 and 3 (3 includes a remaster of 1 & 2), and it holds up pretty well.

Well, it makes sense then that we used to describe it as being a “Doom-like” game lol.
