Doom 2D is a fan-made DOS-based freeware side-scrolling video game based upon Doom translated into a two-dimensional arcade or console-like shooter, comparable to the original Duke Nukem. The player resumes their role as Doomguy, who must do battle with various hell-spawn. Originally appearing entirely in Russian, eventually a partially-translated English version appeared and both are still available for free on the Internet.
The story of Doom 2D is presumably the same as that of the original Doom, which contained very few story details in-game. Doom 2D has even less in-game plot developments than this, simplifying the already simple objectives found in Doom games. Gameplay utilizes a simple and customizable set of keys to navigate a 2D environment and defeat and monsters. The game also offers two-player cooperative-play or deathmatch options, which can be played using different keys on a single keyboard.
All creatures from the original Doom, as were the sound effects.

It was the most widely-used operating system in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was supplied with most of the IBM computers that purchased a license from Microsoft. After 1995, it was pushed out by a graphically more advanced system - Windows and its development was ceased in 2000. At the time of its greatest fame, several thousand games designed specifically for computers with this system were created.
