Featured Article - August 2017

BFG9000

The BFG9000 is the ultimate weapon in the classic Doom series. Although somewhat unwieldy to aim, it can inflict thousands of points of damage over a wide angular field. Each shot produces a huge plasma ball followed by numerous invisible rays after impact. Early deathmatch maps sometimes omitted the BFG for fear of upsetting play balance.

The BFG has become a trope over the years, widely imitated in other FPS games (including by id Software) and referenced in popular culture as often as any specific Doom element.

-'''Chocolate Doom''' is a set of conservative source ports for Doom, Heretic, Hexen, and Strife, started in 2005 by [[Simon Howard (Fraggle)]], with a philosophy of preserving the look, feel, and bugs of the vanilla versions of each game. Deliberately including very few new features and maintaining all of the limitations of the original DOS versions, Chocolate Doom is of use to level authors creating vanilla-compatible levels, as well as players seeking an authentically retro experience of the game as it was played in the 1990s.
