[PROTOTYPE] Posted March 4, 2012 I'm kind of bored,so I was wonfering if you guys can name a few of the so-called Doom clones.They'd better be preferably more obscure.Wolf clones work too. 0 Share this post Link to post
[PROTOTYPE] Posted March 4, 2012 DoomUK said:Doom II That's not a Doom clone.I was referring to games such as Rise of the Triad ,or Corridor 7. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted March 4, 2012 Alien Breed 3D Breathless Citadel Death Mask Fears Genetic Species Gloom Halo Nemac IV These obscure enough for you? EDIT - Let's not forget Chex Quest. 0 Share this post Link to post

aldiboronti Posted March 4, 2012 I think of Doom clones as games using the same engine as Doom or the same format, ie FPS. Also they would have been released within a couple of years of Doom or Doom 2. To speak of Halo as a Doom clone is absurd. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted March 4, 2012 Technically speaking, EVERY FPS made after Doom is a "Doom clone" ;-) At least that's how the industry once used the term. 0 Share this post Link to post

Then almost anything up to Unreal (about 1999) will satisfy you, as 3D acceleration wasn't quite standardized until that date and most games also included a software renderer. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted March 4, 2012 Hmm...but by that logic, everything except maybe the very first sort-of-executable binary blob spurted out by some id's developer compiler that vaguely resembled Doom was the One and True Doom. All the rest, including the alphas, betas, Doom v0.99. 1.1 etc. are merely "clones" of that proto-Doom ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post

gggmork Posted March 4, 2012 witchaven, descent That would be interesting to see a sort of massive videogame tree of all the innovative NON-clones, the ones that pretty much made new genres, but there'd probably be a lot of arbitrary boundaries and overlap. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ok since no one apparently wants to explain the joke- Its been longly considered that Halo (esp. Mastercheifs design) is a rip-off of doom. Now as far as DOS FPSs (as we call them)- wolfenstein and its mods and versions are great corridor 7 RoTT Marathon Pathways into Darkness Shadow Warrior Blood Heretic Hexen BLOOD Duke Nukem I can go on... I've played them all. 0 Share this post Link to post
