Doom on the original Playstation

4/25/2016

We are always getting something new in the museum and now the day we got this classic game on the PS1. Doom was released on the Playstation 1 system in 1995 and is a combination of Doom and Doom 2 with multiplayer features, it does not include split screen mode but instead you had to connect two machines together with a separate cable, but it just made the game more true to the original version on PC. The difference between the PC and Playstation version is that the MIDI music from the PC was replaced with actual recordings of sounds. For example, there is a bee in a bottle, children crying, creepy horse breathing down the neck and more to create the perfect ambient for the game, also the rock/metal theme in the PC version was replaced with more scary and atmospheric music. The graphics, however, was not much improved upon due to limitations of the PS1, for example, there was some levels of the game was shortened and use lower resolution Textures. Otherwise this is an excellent version of the game and completely trouble-free playing with just inserting the CD and start playing without having to worry about installing drivers and whatnot like you did on the PC version.

The PlayStation 2 (PS2), is a home video game console that was manufactured by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is Sony's second installment in the PlayStation Series. It was released on March 4, 2000, in Japan followed by North America and Europe later the same year. The sixth-generation console competed with the Sega Dreamcast, Microsoft Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube.

The PlayStation 2 is the best-selling video game console in history, selling over 155 million units, 150 million confirmed by Sony in 2011. More than 3,874 game titles have been released for the PS2 since launch, and more than 1.5 billion copies have been sold. Sony later manufactured several smaller, lighter revisions of the console known as "slimline" models, and in 2006 introduced the successor, the PlayStation 3.

Even with the PlayStation 3 release, the PlayStation 2 remained popular well into the seventh generation and continued to be produced until January 4, 2013, when Sony finally announced that the PlayStation 2 had been discontinued after almost 13 years of production – one of the longest runs for a video game console. Despite the announcement, new games for the console continued to be produced until the end of 2013, including Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin for Japan, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 for North America and Europe, and FIFA 14 for Brazil. Sony unveiled the PlayStation 4 console the following month on February 20, 2013.
