Game
DOOM, often hailed as the most important first person shooter of them all (thanks to multi-player fragging), brought you into the deep levels of Hell and its soundtrack certainly helped. It seems that some well intending scientists on Phobos (one of Mars' moons) have opened a gateway to Hell. The marines were sent in to neutralize the hostiles only to be blow to chunky bits or possessed by the enemy. You play the last living marine and you must try and save the world form these SOBs.
Music
DOOM has a nice metal score with plenty of eerie ambiance as well.
The rip also has the unreleased music that didn't make it into the finished game. The unreleased music is mostly a collection of unfinished drum and guitar riffs in MIDI format, and as such, isn't that impressive. However, some of the tracks like "opening" and "un30" are pretty good.
Ripping
DOOM's MUS files were ripped from the Doom.wad using Bill Neisius's DMMusic program and recorded using Winamp's MIDI player.
The unreleased music was downloaded from John Romero's Web site (www.rome.ro).
