Doom is a first person shooter game with content that is probably not suitable for young children, but is great fun for older ones.

Freedoom is a free software clone of Doom, based on improvements made to Doom's 3d engine with new maps and monsters.

How to install Doom bundle

New installation: install either Doom-2 or Doom-3, then install as usual.

If you have a previous version installed: you will need to uninstall the previous version of Doom before installing a new version. If you have problems installing, then see the log activity for hints.

Doom is tested working in shipping builds. It is not yet tested with rainbow security enabled.

Things to Avoid

And of course the younger childs want to play the same as their older peers: --Dagoflores 05:25, 9 March 2010 (UTC) .-.-.-.-.-.-

95 percent of teenage boys play video games each month, according to a survey conducted by Jupiter Research in April 2003.
Children are leaving traditional toys and play at younger and younger ages in favor of electronic entertainment. Toy sales were stagnant in 2001; video game sales were up 43 percent over 2000. (The Washington Post, 2/17/02)
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!" I was watching my son play with a friend's hand-held video game -- a game both boys had earnestly assured me was not violent. The outburst occurred because my six-year-old was not as adept as his friend in manipulating the game: He was not killing fast enough. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, virtual killing has become an acceptable form of child's play. Children are encouraged to "kill" bad guys on a regular basis at a variety of settings.

Help

I installed this by downloading the .xo file and then I tried changing the graphics mode to OpenGL and now it won't start. I tried removing it and re-installing it, but it still won't start. I think my (poor choice of) settings were not reset when I did that.

Game settings (all activity settings actually) are found in your .sugar/ directory. Just remove the .sugar/default/org.laptop.doom directory to clear saved settings after you remove the activity, and then re-install.

Hint, don't try the OpenGL video mode.
