Trivia
The programmers added a picture of John Romero's head on a stage at the last level. John noticed that and added a sample to the last level of him saying: "To win this game you must beat me, John Romero". The sample was pitch-shifted and reversed.

Goofs
The two enemy guards in the first room have their backs turned to you and remain oblivious to your presence until you attack. If you silently punch the air from the platform behind them, they become alerted to you. However, if you had instead picked up the chainsaw on the left and held it behind their backs, even though the chainsaw makes noise in its idle position, the guards will remain unaware. This inconsistency occurs because idle weapons are typically silent, while attacking weapons make a sound, except for the fist and chainsaw.

Alternate versions
The console versions of Doom II omit levels 31 and 32 and alter some level maps due to size of media and hardware limits.

Connections
Edited from Wolfenstein 3D (1992)

Great game. disappointing ending.

This was one great game! The soundtrack keeps you motivated to fight. The level design kind of makes up for the limited number of creatures to fight. This is kind of uneven. Some of the middle levels were harder than the latter. It could have been spaced more evenly. But the experience is gritty. Considering that this was the early 90's, I'm surprised they pulled this off. The quality is astounding for what they had to work with. All the controls are tight. The way the sprite bobs when you walk. The ending was disappointing. It just became a very hard 3D platformer, when they could have just added another character.
