Favourite Classic DOOM/DOOMII Monster!

[Jamshyd]

Go here if you can't remember which is which.

My favourite is definitely the Arch-Vile:

Although I also like the Lost Soul:

And think that the Barron of Hell is quite attractive

*bump*

Wow, only 7 people played doom?

PB: Haha, isn't that the thing that zaps you from its nails? That was cool, yeah. In terms of design though, I liked those floating ghost-like things.

i actually read a few doom "novels" way back when i remember the cacodaemons were enemies with barons of hell or something. interesting and fun twist, i recall.

 

[toa$t]

wasn't that part of the game too? I seem to remember that if you got certain enemy types in a room together they would duke it out.

probably

the final wall that shoots cubes that turn into various monsters was bullshit

^ Haha, me too. That level was nuts. At least it was when I was 11 years old or so. I wonder what it would be like now.

Actually I thought that was pretty damn cool (although like JC, that was 13 years ago)

 

[lostpunk5545]

Cyberdemon for sure. Those guys were fucking huge.

 

[L2R]

you like huge guys, aye losty?

I liked the way the Mancubus died and Cacodaemons actually frightened me once or twice. I remember getting stuck on a level involving six or seven doors, where one has to go through each one to retrieve a key (or something like that) to move onto the next level.

The spectres and robotic spiders were fascinating, though extremely pixelated, and I loved all of it. Having to replay levels was actually fun. It didn't seem to get repetitive, because I always got better after each defeat.

'Quake II' reminded me a lot of the 'DOOM' series. Especially when you fall into boiling lava (the screaming sound effect actually made me cringe or jump) and later witness the surviving, psychologically-broken soldiers being ground into meat. Loved those games. ID Software certainly did a fantastic job! Haven't thought about those games in ages, cheers for this thread.

The strafing and such that I learned in 'DOOM' and its sequels certainly helped me when I took up 'Team Fortress Classic' and later 'Counter-Strike'; not frightening in anyway (more frustrating I'd say) but certainly fun.

i can't believe no one has cashed in on another sequel yet

Definetly the lost soul.

Pander Bear: I liked the gremlins on the Quake expansion (forget what it was called) - they could pick up/use the guns! Hell, they even multiplied after eating dead bodies.
