Report Copyright Violation | Doom celebrates 20th birthday Doom may well be the most influential game of the last two decades. At 20 years of age, it's a work that is worth celebrating. Leaving aside the usual plaudits and the warm nostalgia, it is also worth asking just how important the game is in the great scheme of modern entertainment. Noted at the time of its launch for its technological achievements and its violence, its legacy now seems to be as an early catalyst in multiplayer gaming, in literally bringing people together around a single video game. Marking the game's birthday at a gathering held on the University of California Santa Cruz campus on Sunday, a few of its creators came together to discuss its importance, along with Professor Henry Lowood, a technology historian based at Stanford University.
