Doom 3

Overview

Doom 3 is a 2004 first-person shooter survival horror game developed by id Software and published by Activision. It was originally released for Windows on August 3, 2004, before being adapted for Linux later that year, and ported by Aspyr Media for Mac OS X in 2005. Vicarious Visions ported the game to the Xbox, releasing it worldwide on April 4, 2005.

Doom 3 is set on Mars in 2145, where a military-industrial conglomerate has set up a scientific research facility into fields such as teleportation, biological research, and advanced weapons design. The teleportation experiments open a gateway to Hell conducted by Doctor Betruger, resulting in a catastrophic invasion of the Mars base by demons. The player controls a space marine who fights through the base to prevent the demons from attacking Mars and reaching Earth.

Doom 3 is the first game that utilizes the id Tech 4 game engine. The engine has since been licensed out to other developers, and later released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later in November 2011.
