- DOOM (DOOM 1) / ULTIMATE DOOM
- -----------------------------
- THE STORY SO FAR
- You're a marine, one of Earth's toughest, hardened in
- combat and trained for action. Three years ago, you
- assaulted a superior officer for ordering his soldiers to
- fire upon civilians. He and his body cast were shipped to
- Pearl Harbor, while you were transferred to Mars, home of
- the Union Aerospace Corporation.
- The UAC is a multi-planetary conglomerate with
- radioactive waste facilities on Mars and its two moons,
- Phobos and Deimos. With no action for fifty million miles,
- your day consisted of suckin' dust and watchin' restricted
- flicks in the rec room.
- For the last four years the military, UAC's biggest
- supplier, has used the remote facilities on Phobos and
- Deimos to conduct various secret projects, including
- research on inter-dimensional space travel. So far they
- have been able to open gateways between Phobos and Deimos,
- throwing a few gadgets into one and watching them come out
- the other. Recently however, the Gateways have grown
- dangerously unstable. Military "volunteers" entering them
- have either disappeared or been stricken with a strange
- form of insanity--babbling vulgarities, bludgeoning
- anything that breathes, and finally suffering an untimely
- death of full-body explosion. Matching heads with torsos to
- send home to the folks became a full-time job. Latest
- military reports state that the research is suffering a
- small set-back, but everything is under control.
- A few hours ago, Mars received a garbled message from
- Phobos. "We require immediate military support. Something
- fraggin' evil is coming out of the Gateways! Computer
- systems have gone berserk!" The rest was incoherent. Soon
- afterwards, Deimos simply vanished from the sky. Since
- then, attempts to establish contact with either moon have
- been unsuccessful.
- You and your buddies, the only combat troop for fifty
- million miles were sent up pronto to Phobos. You were
- ordered to secure the perimeter of the base while the rest
- of the team went inside. For several hours, your radio
- picked up the sounds of combat: guns firing, men yelling
- orders, screams, bones cracking, then finally, silence.
- Seems your buddies are dead.
- IT'S UP TO YOU
- Things aren't looking too good. You'll never navigate
- off the planet on your own. Plus, all the heavy weapons
- have been taken by the assault team leaving you with only a
- pistol. If only you could get your hands around a plasma
- rifle or even a shotgun you could take a few down on your
- way out. Whatever killed your buddies deserves a couple of
- pellets in the forehead. Securing your helmet, you exit the
- landing pod. Hopefully you can find more substantial
- firepower somewhere within the station.
- As you walk through the main entrance of the base, you
- hear animal-like growls echoing throughout the distant
- corridors. They know you're here. There's no turning back
- now.

- DOOM II / DOOM 2: HELL ON EARTH
- -------------------------------
- THE STORY CONTINUES...DOOM II: Hell on Earth
- Back at last. After days of hard fighting in space, you've
- returned home on well-earned leave. You're one of Earth's
- crack soldiers, hard-bitten, tough, and heavily-armed. When
- the alien invasion struck Mars, you were the first on the
- scene. By killing, killing, and killing, you won. You
- stopped the invasion, saved Mars base, and became a war
- hero. What they don't talk about so much is that you were
- the only survivor.
- But that's all behind you now. You've quit the
- military, and are heading home. Your drop pod lands with a
- crunch. You open 'er up and look out. Damn! The city ahead
- is on fire. What the devil is going on? You stagger
- forward, clutching at your sidearm. Packs of refugees are
- fleeing the flaming metropolis. A band of them shriek in
- terror. You squint. What's that? Someone is attacking the
- refugees. You rush up and blast away, killing the
- troublemaker. It looks like a human but something's wrong.
- His mouth is filled with half-chewed flesh, and he's all
- messed up, like a zombie from a bad horror movie. Hell, not
- again!
- You can feel it. It's all starting again, just like on
- Mars. First, people are taken over, turned into cannibal
- Things. Then the real horror starts, the deformed
- monstrosities from Outside. But now it's on Earth!
- It turns out that the invaders are all over. Monsters
- range from Tokyo to Timbuktu, from Stockholm to Scranton.
- Billions are dead. Some people have been transformed into
- flesh-eating mutants, but a few, a very few, are still
- alive and fully human. The wise men of humanity have
- evolved a plan to save what's left of the human race. They
- have built enormous ships to carry the remaining people
- into space, safely away from the ruined world.
- Unfortunately, Earth's only ground spaceport has just
- been taken over by the demons. They've instituted a sort of
- force field -- a flame barrier -- over the port; no ships
- can land or take off. You gotta go back into action. The
- pathetic remnants of Earth's soldiers are making an assault
- on the invaders at the spaceport. If you win, you might be
- able to turn off the barrier, so that the ships can leave,
- and Homo sapiens may not go extinct just yet. If you lose,
- that's it. Humanity is history.
- You and your comrades make their attack. Soon, brave
- men drop like flies. You lose track of your friends, though
- sometimes you can hear them scream when they die, and the
- sounds of combat echo from deep within the starbase.
- Something hisses with rage from the steel tunnels
- ahead. They know you're here. They have no pity, no mercy,
- take no quarter, and crave none. They're the perfect enemy,
- in a way. No one's left but you. You...and Them.

- FINAL DOOM: TNT/EVILUTION
- -------------------------
- TNT: Evilution
- Though all the top management of the UAC were dead, and
- so were most of their personnel down to the janitors, the
- corporation survived, now under strict government
- supervision. The UAC still sought the secret to matter
- apportation, and continued its experiments under vastly
- increased safety measures.
- The UAC's base was set up on one of the moons of
- Jupiter, hoping that the increased distance would enhance
- Earth's safety if something went wrong. Marines were
- stationed at the base, ready for anything.
- The Invasion
- Soon after the UAC opened its first Gate, the minions of
- Hell made their first attack. Suddenly, through the Gate
- flowed spiked, fanged, dripping techno-terrors. Meat
- machines flailed their armored limbs and slavered with
- bloodlust, seeking soft bleeding manflesh to rend. But in
- their seeking, they found only death. The United States
- Space Marine Corps was prepared for such an event, and they
- poured molten death into the hordes of Hell. More demons
- massed, hoping to overwhelm the defenders by their endless
- numbers. But mass alone was no match for the marines. Set
- up in defensive positions around the gate, the marines were
- able to slaughter the monsters by the hundreds, taking few
- losses.
- As suddenly as it had begun, the invasion ended. The
- last flaming skull screamed through, was hit by twenty
- simultaneous shotgun blasts, and the chamber was silent
- once more, except for the dripping of blood. Hell had
- failed.
- The research went on, more boldly, and less cautiously.
- All the marines received the Silver Star from a grateful
- government, and the UAC made an enormous contribution to
- the Veterans Fund. The defensive positions were
- strengthened, and the marines watched closely for another
- attempt, all their attention drawn inward toward the Gates.
- They were looking in the wrong direction.
- The Rain of Monsters
- Hell knew more than one trick. Months after the Gate
- incident, the yearly supply ship came ahead of time. On
- radar, the ship looked far larger than usual. And it was
- coming from the wrong direction. Strange, but not
- inexplicable. The lax radar operators reported the ship's
- approach, and personnel went out to the landing field to
- meet it. But it never landed. Instead, it hovered over the
- base, miles in the air. The men and women looked up at it
- and saw that something was terribly wrong.
- The ship could not have come from Earth. It was huge,
- kilometers long, and was built of bone, steel, flesh,
- corruption, and death. It was a bio-mechano-magical
- construct from the depths of Hell, and it had come through
- space for its vengeance. Enormous doors, large as football
- fields, irised open and hideous demons poured out, plunging
- to the ground and blanketing the entire base with their
- throbbing, pulsing bodies. They were everywhere at once.
- The marines' defenses, set up to prevent an attack from the
- direction of the Gate, were worthless. The monsters poured
- through the sewers, the air vents, the hallways,
- everywhere, rampaging, corrupting, and feasting.
- Once more, the surviving humans were left as zombified
- brain-dead monstrosities. Existing only to kill and kill
- and kill.
- It's Up To You
- Only one man escaped death or zombification. The marine
- commander. You. You weren't at the base when the skies
- opened and devastation poured from the stars. You were
- miles away, enjoying a walk across the moon's rough-hewn
- landscape. Then you heard a snortling gurgle behind you and
- whirled to face one of them. The beings that still haunted
- your nightmares. Your reflexes weren't dulled by your
- experiences, and you pulled out your pistol and blew the
- imp to gory shreds.
- Hot-footing it back to the base, you saw it all and
- realized what had happened in a flash. The demon ship still
- floated above the infested base. Your boys -- the men you'd
- trained to fight and kill and die as no fighting man had
- ever been trained before -- were dead. You were not there
- when it happened, to die with them.
- Unlike the ancient Samurai, who chose to die with their
- men, you cocked your pistol. You were going to kill for
- your men. And if you died trying, well, you were going
- to die anyway, some day. Death at the fangs of demons
- might be the very worst way to die, but if they did
- manage to get you, Hell would know it had been in a
- fight.
- -----------------------------------
- FINAL DOOM: THE PLUTONIA EXPERIMENT
- -----------------------------------
- THE PLUTONIA EXPERIMENT
- After Hell's catastrophic invasion of Earth, the United
- States took steps to prevent such an invasion from
- recurring. The old UAC corporation was refounded, under
- completely new management (because the old trustees and
- stockholders were all dead, this wasn't much of a problem),
- and sent to research tools and technologies to prevent such
- an incursion from happening ever again.
- Though the invasion had been stopped, and the remaining
- demons were gradually being exterminated by mopping-up
- squads, it was clear that the powers of Hell remained
- strong. While the Spider Mastermind and Baphomet seemed to
- no longer threaten, who knew what else lay outside?
- Waiting. Watching. Preparing.
- The new UAC began working on Quantum Accelerator Devices,
- intended to close interdimensional Gates at a distance and
- so prevent future incursions forever. The project began
- innocently enough. Naturally the scientists, in order to
- learn how to close Gates, had to relearn Gate technology
- first. This ability was rapidly regained. Perhaps too
- rapidly.
- The Terror
- Soon, beings from outside had their dire attention drawn
- to the new experiments, and then, one day, a Gate opened in
- the heart of the research complex. Unnatural horrors from
- the pit poured in, ravening for destruction. But the UAC
- scientists had learned their trade. The Quantum Accelerator
- Device performed perfectly in its maiden test -- the
- invasion Gate was closed instantly and permanently when the
- Accelerator flicked on. A cyberdemon, halfway through, was
- snipped in two when the Gate closed. Earth would now be
- safe from literal invasion by Hell. At least, once the
- technology could be set up around the globe.
- The next day, a ring of seven Gates opened throughout
- the base, and a monstrous legion rampaged through. The
- Quantum Accelerator began putting out the Gates at once,
- and within an hour, six were closed. But the hellish army
- was now too strong, too numerous. The marines fought like
- mad dogs, but were finally pulled down by the enemies'
- claws. The scientists, marines, and bureaucrats were all
- slain or transformed into undead mankillers.
- The Task
- The Quantum Accelerator and its prototypes are deep
- inside the ravaged complex. A demon Gatekeeper guards them
- and mans the last Gate of Hell. The government, frantic
- that the Quantum Accelerator will be destroyed or used in
- some alien fashion upon us, has ordered all marines to the
- site at once, regardless of their location.
- You were on leave at the beach, only a few minutes from
- the complex, when you got the word. You suited up, grabbed
- a pistol, and raced your pickup truck to the complex. When
- you arrived, flashes of light, howls, and chanting could be
- heard from the interior. Corpses were scattered everywhere.
- Obviously the Gatekeeper was doing something inside --
- something that would soon reach some kind of awful climax.
- You know that within an hour or two, an entire division
- of marines will arrive to assault the base with full
- artillery and air support. You also know that they will be
- too late. Far too late. The airplanes will be plucked from
- the sky by floating terrors, the cannons melted by diabolic
- rockets and fireballs, the soldiers blasted to shreds as
- they charge into the armored shell of the UAC buildings. In
- an hour or two, the monstrosities inside will have finished
- their awful task, and will be prepared, once more, to take
- on the world.
- It's up to you. You have to enter the complex and stop
- the Gatekeeper. Alone.
