Summary
ADoomfan has recently discovered a perfectly preserved copy ofDoom 3in an old storage unit. One of the joys of owning physical copies of games is keeping favorite titles forever, and this gamer made quite a find for an old-schoolDoom 3fan.
Doom 3was originally released in 2004. While some diehard fans who love the older entries of the franchise may not put it amongthe bestDoomgames, Doom 3 stood out by having a unique take on the franchise’s formula. Unlike previousDoomtitles, which focused on quick-paced action,Doom 3was more of a survival horror FPS, having a darker atmosphere and somewhat slower gameplay. Despite these bold changes, the title attained a huge commercial success, and it sold over 3.5 units over time, becoming id Software’s biggest hit until that point.
Now, 20 years afterDoom 3’s release, a gamer called Kagemuna found an original Xbox physical copy of the game in perfect condition while looking at their storage unit. Kagemuna shared three pictures of the old disc on r/Doom, revealing that the game still has its case and official manual. Unfortunately, Kagemuna disclosed in the comments of the post that they do not own an Xbox anymore.Doom 3was amongthe best games on the original Xbox, so it’s a shame that the gamer will not be able to play this gem anytime soon.
Gamer Shares Doom 3 In Perfect Condition They Found In Old Storage
Despite being quite an old title,Doom 3is still getting some attention from its community. Last year, for example,modders madeDoom 3become much more quick-paced. By installing a new mod called Runner’sDoom 3, gamers can speed up the title’s gameplay. Runner’sDoom 3not only makes the players move faster than usual, but also diminishes the enemy reaction times, and makes foes respawn after dying. These changes greatly increase the action of an otherwise slower title.
Kagemuna is not the only fan finding old Xbox-related products in forgotten spaces, though. A few months ago, anothergamer discovered a rare version of the Xbox 360in their shed. Deemed by some fans as one of the most good-looking versions of Microsoft’s old console, this find was aHalo 4-themed translucent version of the Xbox 360 that not many players own. Fortunately, the old-school console looked completely functional, despite being left forgotten in a dusty space for quite a long time.
