Sega 32X

The 32X version of Doom was published by Sega in 1994. The game features 17 maps from first two episodes and hence lacks the famed BFG9000 (which only appears in the third episode that is not included in the 32X version), although it is documented in games manual and the number 7 still exists on the status bar. A cheat code can give the weapon to the player highlighting that it was coded in though it doesn't appear on any of the maps. This version also has no multiplayer mode.

The game disappointed many fans since it did not play in a full screen, was missing many levels from other versions of the game, and only had the front sprite for the monsters. Because of this, there is no Monster infighting in this version.

Due to poor use of the YM2612 FM synthesis chip in the Sega Genesis, this version's soundtrack is noticeably inferior to that of other versions. Many sound effects are also missing. As with the Jaguar version, the levels have been edited and the game does not feature the Cyberdemon, Spiderdemon or the Spectre (however, unlike the BFG9000, they are not mentioned in the manual). There is also no way to save games, although there is a level select option that allows the player to start on any of the first fifteen levels.

If the player cheats while playing or uses the level select option, they will not see the real ending to the game and instead be presented with a DOS prompt (C:&gt;) after completing level 15. The game manual incorrectly states that the game will then warp the player back to level 1 to try again without cheats, which doesn't happen.

Like in the Jaguar version, circlestrafing is not possible in this version due to the use of a "strafe on" key rather than separate left and right strafe keys.

Bugs

 * Some status bar face graphics are flipped left to right with respect to the originals, so that when the Doomguy takes damage, the part in his hair appears to jump from side to side.
 * Rockets face the player when launched.
