Description[edit]
The front side of the card features a photograph of former id Software CEO Jay Wilbur holding a boxed copy of The Ultimate Doom.

The description text calls the release of Doom a "seminal moment in video game history", crediting it with the widespread introduction of the first-person shooter genre of games. The game's controversial nature due to its violent content is mentioned, and the widely repeated statistic of 10 million players in the first two years (for the shareware version of the game) is given.
