This was the first official Doom package to appear in retail stores, as only the shareware version had previously been available there, with the registered version restricted to mail order direct from id Software. The United States release of The Ultimate Doom uses the same artwork as the Doom box cover, but significantly darkened, and with "The Ultimate" text written above the Doom logo. Its title screen is based on this art, but flipped left to right. The Doom II logo can be seen above and behind the two combatants. The Doom II cover art, illustrated by Gerald Brom, displays the protagonist of the series, here sporting an unusual stylized buzz cut, fighting a cyberdemon using the shotgun in the ruins of a burning city on Earth. The game's title screen was directly based on this art, but isolated to the central marine and adding a shotgun to his armaments.
Another marine can be seen in the far left background desperately trying to run to the main character's aid, perhaps a reference to the game's multiplayer capabilities. The Doom logo created by Adrian Carmack is shown above and behind the marine. One of them is grabbing his left wrist, while another behind is reaching for his right leg. The Doom cover art, illustrated by Don Ivan Punchatz, depicts the game's protagonist standing on a ridge in Hell, using a machine gun to fight off devilish monsters with a vague resemblance to the baron of Hell, though many have mechanical parts. 5.5 Other games manuals cover art galleryĭoom games cover art Doom.2.3.2 Doom: The Boardgame Expansion Set.
