Technically the game shined with its fluid 3d but basically other games were way more technically advanced. But braindead action itches a nerve in many people and doom filled that void back then on the pc side perfectly, and from there it became a cultural phenomenon due to press reports! Not sure whether it is worthwhile to play any of the sequels, if you love shooters then probably yes, if you are like my relatively annoyed by the endless streams of shooters since Doom which were the doom (pun intended) of many other more cerebral genres, then definitely not!
