ixfd64 Posted September 23, 2003 Well, most of you have probably heard of NASA crashing the Galileo space probe into Jupiter on purpose. This reminded to me create this topic - on which moon(s) do you think Final Doom took place? I'm assuming it's one of the four important Jovian moons, Io, Callisto, Ganymede, and Europa. Of course, Doom is just a game and far from real-life, but I thought this discussion would be fun. :) I would guess it's Ganymede and/or Callisto. Why? Io is full of lava and volcanoes, and Europa is an icy watery world. On the other hand, Callisto and Ganymede seem like rocky worlds, like in Final Doom. BTW, you play Doom too much, when... Right before the Galileo crashed, you hacked into its systems and caused it to send screenshots from The Lost Episodes of Doom. You use a supercomputer to calculate optimal runs in Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vile Posted September 23, 2003 It doesn't matter much to me, but if I put in the same research, I'd probably go with your two choices. This only applies for Evilution, as Plutonia is never given an exact location. The story says a UAC complex, but the levels don't even reflect that, so it's safe to assume it was just filler (not that it mattered, given the style of the wad). Use the imagination for that one, but I'd just say it was on Earth. EDIT: There's also the matter of the Egyptian and Caribbean secret levels for TNT, but whatever, it's just a game. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkhaven3 Posted September 23, 2003 Final Doom I believe took place in several settings; 1)Earth's moon 2)Earth 3)Ganymede 4)A UAC space shuttle (???) 5)Callisto 0 Share this post Link to post

sargebaldy Posted September 23, 2003 heh since final doom was pretty much done before they tacked the story on, who even cares. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted September 23, 2003 The skies make no sense whatsoever so don't even try and explain it, heh. 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted September 23, 2003 Evilution takes place on one of Jupiter's moons that is being attacked by a demonic spacecraft. Plutonia takes place on Earth. The teleporters you are travelling with are the entry points of a gigantic accelerator cirquit that is big enough to span the entire globe. 0 Share this post Link to post

Reisal Posted September 23, 2003 I think Io is one of the moons you are on in Final Doom: TNT. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fletcher` Posted September 23, 2003 Why is Io used so much for the themes? 0 Share this post Link to post
ixfd64 Posted September 23, 2003 LOL, not even episode II in the Lost Episodes looks like Io... Io is supposed to be full of volcanoes and lava... 0 Share this post Link to post
Spray Posted September 26, 2003 Tobester said:uac space shuttle? what level? Probably "Wormhole", the one where you enter a teleporter in some tunnels, nothing apparently happens till you get back out of the tunnels and it's like a "parallel universe", with the bodies of what you killed still there, along with more bad guys. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spray Posted September 26, 2003 Galileo was running out of propellant to properly point itself back to Earth in order to beam back the info, and it was suffering some serious wear-and-tear from the massive amounts of radiation around Jupiter, magnetic and otherwise. 0 Share this post Link to post
ixfd64 Posted September 27, 2003 And they did not want to contaminate Europa with Earth bacteria, since it may hinder future research. 0 Share this post Link to post
