Arch-Valentine Posted May 1, 2008 Oh wow this brings me back to my HS days...Even though I read the manual too I still gave them my own names. I usually gave them names due to their appearance or what they looked sorta like. Zombieman - Buzzcut Shotgun Guy - Baldy Nazi - Happyface Heavy Weapon Dude - Tyrone (Cuz he looked like a friend of mine in HS) Imp - Demon Demon - Horned Demon Spectre - Ghost Cacodemon - Strawberry Baron of Hell - What the fuck Minotaur dude die!!! Before the Super Shotty this guy was scary as hell to fight for me with a shotty. Sometimes I called him 16 cuz I would always count the shotgun hits it took to kill him. SpiderMastermind - Krang Cyberdemon - Oh shit! Hell Knight - I think in the manual they said something about him being similiar to being a T-Rex or something so I just called him T-Rex. Or was that the Baron? Oh well...lol Pain Elemental - Killer Cocoa Puff Revenant - Skeletor Arachnotron - Krang's baby Mancubus - Aunt Kathy (lol) Arch-Vile - Smarty Pants (Big head) Boss Brain - Master Demon 0 Share this post Link to post
Optimus Posted May 2, 2008 I called them in greek which have funny names but I'll have the greek names for the greek guys (because they are funny) and the translation too. zombieman = στρατιωτάκια (little millitary men) shotgun guy = σοτγκανάδες (shotgunners) imp = ψαρωκολιάρηδες (psarokola - because of the sound they made) demon = ροζ γουρούνια (pink pigs) cacodemon = τομάτες (tomatoes) pain elemental = μελιτζάνες (pumpkins) mancubus = αμπτιμαχάλ (abdi machal - because of the sound they made) heavy weapon dudes = τακατάκες (takatakes - they shoot stuff fast: taka taka taka taka) arch viles = ο θεός (the god - because he can ressurect stuff) lost soul = σκελετάκια (tiny skeletons) I know, silly.. 0 Share this post Link to post

Baron O' Hell Posted May 27, 2008 Cacodemons do look like tomatos, though Edit: My pic did not work 0 Share this post Link to post

deathbringer Posted June 6, 2008 I had devoured videogame reviews so knew a lot of names, though i called the Zombiemen "Pistol" guys" and the Sergeants "Shotgun guys". I was also scared of Cacodemons because i had read that it took TWO rockets to kill them (whoever wrote that paticular review had either signed a confidentiality agreement or had only played a few select levels, they didnt mention Barons of Hell at all). Later i learned thier pain chance is so high you can chainsaw them without worrying 0 Share this post Link to post
ixfd64 Posted June 6, 2008 I didn't have the manual when I played the shareware version of Doom, so this is what I called the monsters. Soldiers and sargeants - troops Imps - chimps (I thought they looked like chimpanzees for some odd reason.) Demons - demons (I actually got it right!) Spectres - cloakers Barons of hell - big bear-like things 0 Share this post Link to post
Stever1009 Posted June 20, 2008 Here was what my dad called some of them: Zombies: Zombies Demons: Pink boys Arachnotrons: Spiders Mancubi: Fat boys Arch-Viles: White monsters 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord_Z Posted June 20, 2008 I can only really remember 2 of them: Demons = Pinky dinks Cacodemon = Cat-head For the most part, I seem to have always known what the actual names are. 0 Share this post Link to post
ssfsx17 Posted June 21, 2008 Zombies -> Possessed Dudes Brownie -> Mutated Dude (because they don't sound that different from the zombies) Pinky -> Wolf-Bear-Pig Mutant Spectre -> Predator Wolf-Bear-Pig Mutant Baron of Hell -> Big Screamer Demon Overlord (they are pretty dang loud) Cacodemon (seen in the page that tells you to get the registered version) -> Laughing Demon Overlord After that, all the shareware versions of Doom came with some crappy text files that explained the enemies, and Doom 2 came with an instruction manual. 0 Share this post Link to post
blarg Posted July 1, 2008 For the most part I just describe their attacks, because when trying to beat the game as an inexperienced player, that was all I cared about. The exceptions are: Demon-Pink thing Spectre-Invisodemon Lost Soul-Flaming skull Cacodemon-Floating head Mancubus-fatty Archvile-fire guy Revenant-skeleton Nazi SS-Nazi Commander Keen-lynched hippie (Had no idea what it was supposed to be, never heard of Commander Keen before.) I coined the name when showing my friend the super secret level,( although not how to get there, hehehe...) and he asked me what the Commander Keens were. I didn't know so we came up with lynched hippies because of the bright colors. 0 Share this post Link to post
BaronOfStuff Posted July 10, 2008 I first got this on PSX, so after reading the manual instead of doing schoolwork in class, I knew the names of pretty much everything. Still, didn't stop me and a friend shouting out random names during our many link-games: Zombieman: Pistol-ponce Shotgun Guy: Shotgun zombie Heavy Weapons Dude: Angry Chinaman Imp: Chocolate Men Demon: Horny Pig (often followed by a "Hurr...") evenant: Skeleton warrior Pain Elemental: Shit-dispenser Lost Soul: God-damned-motherfucking-son-of-a-bitch!! (Or similar: yeah, only after it killed either of us by surprise) There were others, but those are the ones I remember most. Then I finally got round to buying the PC version (after years of shareware clowning around), and stopped using nick-names altogether. 0 Share this post Link to post
swordgrunt Posted July 13, 2008 I knew most of the names, but sometimes I called them with different names. Former Human - pistol zombie Shotgun Guy - shotgun zombie Chaingunner - chaingun zombie Spectre - invisible demon Lost Soul - skull BTW, I always spoke those in portuguese, which is my native language. 0 Share this post Link to post
