Spread the word

George Owl skillfully navigated his character through the immersive 3D world of Doom. Marveling at the difference from traditional 2D pixelated games, he exclaimed, "This is unlike any other!" As he controlled his character, George focused on the first-person perspective, hands gripping a virtual gun, with character information displayed below the screen.

In the heat of the game, George skillfully aimed and fired at enemies, gradually becoming absorbed in the experience. A smirk played on his lips, and he chuckled, "Hehe, this game didn't disappoint me..."

Enhanced by captivating music and dynamic sound effects, George could sense that Doom was destined for success.

As time passed, the word about the exclusive video game Doom, designed only for Apple Computer with Macintosh OS 7 compatibility, spread rapidly. Enthused by the buzz surrounding this first-person shooting experience, Apple Computer owners flocked to the KiShin store to secure their copy.

By the end of August, KiShin's Doom experienced a significant surge in sales, showing no signs of decline. Despite KiShin's minimal marketing efforts, the game found its audience as enthusiasts gradually discovered it, some even going the extra mile to purchase an Apple Computer with Macintosh OS 7 to indulge in the immersive gameplay.

Meanwhile, gaming enthusiasts caught wind of the video game Doom, sparking discussions among friends.

"Have you heard of Doom?" Jordan inquired, prompting a puzzled expression from his friend who shook his head.

"Doom? Is someone stuck in Doom?" Jack quipped, eliciting groans from the group at the corniness of his joke.

Jordan, smiling, shook his head and proceeded to enlighten those unfamiliar with the video game. "Doom is a game released by KiShin that's been the talk of the town lately..."

While Jack and a few friends who stayed home for vacation weren't aware, some of Jordan's friends were already in the loop.

Upon hearing Jordan's words, Jack immediately inquired, saying, "Doom? Why haven't I heard of that before..."

Before Jordan could respond, one of his friends chuckled, "How would you know? You've been at home all day playing Super Mario Kart and Killer Instinct!"

Jack felt a bit embarrassed after the remark.

Jordan just smiled and explained, "Doom is a video game with a first-person shooting gameplay." Pausing to commend KiShin, he added, "As expected from KiShin, they've once again pioneered a new genre in the world of video games."

The friends who gathered to play the Doom video game nodded in agreement, stating, "The writer, narrator, and the concept of the game were all credited to Shinro Suzuki!"

Among those who were unaware of Doom until now, one of them remarked, "Oh, now I'm interested in buying that game..."

"Interesting... I wonder why KiShin didn't market it. If I had known, I would have been one of the first to visit the KiShin Store," another mused.

"Yeah, based on Jordan's praise, it seems like it's worth checking out," added one who was previously unfamiliar with Doom, nodding in agreement.

Jordan held significant influence in the group, being the most skilled gamer who occasionally shared advice about video games.

When Jordan and the others who had played Doom heard their friends expressing interest in the game, they chuckled. Jordan then clarified, "I don't think you're aware that Doom can't be played on SKES and KES..."

Confusion filled Jack and the others as Jack questioned, "What does that mean?"

Another chimed in, "Yeah, how come we can't play it on SKES or KES? Isn't Doom a KiShin video game?"

Some were perplexed, and another asked, "Where can we play it if not on SKES or KES? Could it be a Gameboy game?"

Jordan and the recent Doom players exchanged glances, and Jordan shook his head, stating, "No. It can't be played on the Gameboy either..."

Confusion marked Jack's face, his brows furrowed as he turned to Jordan and asked, "What do you mean? If it's not playable on any KiShin console, where can we play it? On Tora and Suzuki 16 bit?" Jack chuckled, and others joined in.

Jordan shook his head with a chuckle and replied, "No, that's out of the question too..." Observing the increasing bewilderment among friends unfamiliar with Doom, Jordan glanced at those who knew and chuckled. He then clarified, "It can only be played on an Apple computer with Macintosh OS 7."

When Jack and the others, who had just learned about the video game Doom, expressed surprise, Jack remarked, "It can only be played on an Apple computer?" Jack and the rest turned their attention to Jordan, who simply nodded.

Jack continued, "I see... considering the KiShin-Apple alliance, it shouldn't be too surprising. But since it's a computer game, is it really as good as you say?"

Other video game enthusiasts, like Jack, primarily place their faith in video game consoles. They often don't hold computer games in high regard, considering them either subpar or incomparable even to Tora and Suzuki's video games for the 16-bit consoles. Even the new video games heavily marketed by Microsoft don't capture much attention in the eyes of these gaming enthusiasts.

Jordan smiled and nodded, saying, "I assure you, even though it's a game for the Apple computer, it's exceptional. It introduces a new gameplay concept not seen even on the SKES—an innovation that breaks new ground in gaming."

Curiosity sparked among Jack and the others, though a hint of doubt lingered.

Jordan proceeded to explain the intricacies of the Doom video game. As Jack learned that it deviated from traditional 2D pixelated games, offering a cutting-edge 3D experience, curiosity transformed into genuine interest.

They collectively decided to invest their savings in purchasing an Apple computer with Macintosh OS 7, eager to delve into the unique world of Doom.

Discussions about the video game Doom among groups of video game fans in the USA are spreading rapidly. The game's unique concept has piqued the interest of many, leading even emerging video game magazines to purchase Doom for review purposes.
