A wall texture showing the text "TEI TENGA"
The Doom Bible is the original design document for Doom, written by Tom Hall.
Some bits and pieces from the Doom Bible show up in various places:
- The prefixes TROO, SARG, and BRS on IWAD lumps for the Imp, Demon, and Baron of Hell come from their Doom Bible names: Demon Trooper, Demon Sergeant, and Bruiser Brothers.
- The Unmaker appeared in Doom 64.
- Of all the proposed episode names, only Knee-Deep in the Dead made it into the final game. It was originally to be the third episode of six.
- The game originally took place on a planet called Tei Tenga. Some of the Doom computer panel textures still contain the text "UAC BASE TEI TENGA". The 1995 3D Realms game Terminal Velocity [1] also featured a planet called Tei Tenga.
- All of the playable characters in the game Rise of the Triad had origins in the Doom Bible. Some had their names altered, and one only appeared as a possible name, but one or two were unchanged from their original descriptions.
- In Strife, there is a place where the player must use a severed hand to unlock a door. This was also proposed in the Doom Bible. (Some observers believe this to be a coincidence.)
