Doom II

Doom II: Hell on Earth is a first-person shooter video game created by id Software. It was originally released on the IBM PC on September 30th, 1994. It is the sequel to the popular and revolutionary game Doom, which was released a year earlier. In 1995, Doom II won the Origins Award for Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Computer Game of 1994. Unlike Doom which was initially only available through shareware and mail order, "Doom II" was a commercial release sold in stores.

Control Mechanics

Doom and Doom II were the first PC games in which use of the mouse and keyboard combination was popularized for first person shooters. Although Wolfenstein 3D had support for a mouse and keyboard control scheme the Doom series pushed the mouse and keyboard FPS scheme out from obscurity and into the mainstream.
