    Also… and I never see anyone else mention this… DOOM does not take place on Mars.

    DOOM episode 1: Knee-Deep in the Dead takes place on Phobos. Episode 2: The Shores of Hell takes place on Deimos. Episode 3: Inferno takes place in Hell.

    Doom 2: Hell on Earth takes place, as you might think, on Earth.

    The whole plot of the first game is that humans are experimenting with teleporters between Phobos and Deimos, when Deimos mysteriously vanishes. To investigate, the player character is sent to Phobos, with the mission to make it through the teleporter to Deimos to see where it is. But upon arriving on Phobos, something is horribly wrong…

      But Doom (2016) does.

      I feel that many gamers nowadays mean the 2016 reboot, when they talk about Doom, and not the original from 1993. We’re getting old …

        I don’t know if the '93 version of Doom will do it, but it probably will. I installed Dark Forces on a machine several years ago, and was happily playing for about 20-30 minutes when I suddenly got motion sickness. Those older games run at a lower fps, and apparently my eyes really don’t like that.
