>Excuse the ignorance, but what is DOOM? and on what platforms is is available?

  Doom is probably the world's most successfull game (in terms of popularity) 
in history.  It has made a bigger impact than pac-man and defender, and has 
spawned, either by code or by example, literally hundreds of simular games, 
which have only recently begun to surpass this 2-3 year old game.  That's one 
hell of a game.

  Doom is a game with a 1st person perspective (seen through your own eyes) 
where you run around (usually in the middle of Hell itself) killing all kinds 
of dead and undead baddies and a number of demons.  Go to ftp.idsoftware.com 
if you want to leech some shareware of it...  the game rocks to high heaven 
(or hell)...

  (yes, I am obviously a doom fanatic...)

(this part is to the previous guy)

  Doom is a great game, but if you can find the editor for Dark Forces 
(another great game, by lucas arts) you are not limited to one floor.  Though 
doom editors are more common, so if you are only workign with a single story 
or don't mind having the make the top floor seperate (like teleport to it 
while going up or downstairs), doom is the better one to model with.
