DOOM & GBA

by Steve Gibson Mar 20, 2001 9:02am CST tags: Activision, id Software, Game Boy Advance
Here is something I cant say I would have ever expected. Activision has announced their lineup of games that will be showing up on the Nintendo GameBoy Advance handheld system. The surprise though is DOOM from id Software is among those titles.

Based on the most popular action-shooter of all time, id Software's DOOM for Game Boy Advance features all of the frenetic, adrenaline pumping action and immersive gameplay from the original PC game. True to the original, the game features an advanced 3D graphics engine and an onslaught of horrific demons. DOOM challenges players to face off against attacks from cyber-organic creatures and demons in a timeless battle of skill and firepower.

Nintendo has been slowly shedding that 'kids and family only' oriented games that they were pushing for so long. The GBA will be launching on June 11th of this year. Thanks KungFu
