Some games can never be forgotten, Doom is one of them. No matter how many games come and go, Doom remains unparalleled and unrivalled.
Doom is all about slaughtering demons in a 3D environment that reverberates a headbanging soundtrack. On top of this, it packs the type of gameplay that moves forward quickly. The perfect shooting game, isn’t it?
While devouring every iconic thing that Doom had to offer, one question skipped the mind of most of us.
What is the name of the franchise’s protagonist?
I mean, we all called the fictional character of the Doom series as the Doomguy. Some enthusiasts also referred to him as Doom Slayer or Doom Marine.
Then again, these do not seem like names but titles. As a result, never did we get to know what Doomguy’s real name is.
Going forward, id software is celebrating the 26th anniversary of Doom 2 today. To celebrate the iconic game, some trivia questions were being asked on Twitter by id Software.
Those who answered correctly were provided with Doom goodies and rewards.
Out of nowhere, an enthusiast asked a question of his own instead of participating in the trivia.
The user asked id Software co-founder, John Romero, the name of Doomguy.
Luckily for us, Romero reverted, and Spoiler alert! The name of Doomguy is Doom Guy.
Over the years, Doomguy has had many names. Back in the 90s, in Doom novels, Doomguy was named Flynn Taggart. With the coming of Doom 3 novel, Doomguy was referred to as John Kane.
Therefore, I for one was surely surprised to find out that Doomguy’s name is just Doom guy. I was expecting something more humane.
Upon further analyzing the name, I also found out that Guy is a surname pretty common in European countries like England and France. So maybe Doom is the first name of our favorite protagonist.
