Doomguy - References in Other Games

References in Other Games

• Doomguy's corpse makes an appearance in a secret area in Duke Nukem 3D: he is posed halfway through his Classic Doom death animation (clutching his throat and gurgling his own blood), surrounded by various Satanic iconography. Upon seeing him, Duke Nukem remarks, "That's one doomed space marine." A similar scene also takes place in Duke Nukem Forever.
• In the Windows version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, the Doomguy is a secret skater, added by developer Gearbox Software, who ported the Windows version. This was included because Activision, publisher of the Tony Hawk series and Doom 3, wanted to promote the latter, still in development. Doomguy has decent to good ability ratings, except for "Air", "Hangtime", and "Ollie" (which are excessively low; a joking reference to the lack of jumping in Doom). He replaces Darth Maul, who is featured in the sixth generation console versions of this game.
• In the PlayStation 2 game 007: Agent Under Fire, the mercenaries in the first level are based on Doomguy from the original game. They all wear short green shirts, are obviously well-built and some even wear a gray head-mask very similar to his.
• A mod for Quake II allowed the player to access the original characters, weapons, and enemies from Wolfenstein 3D, Doom II: Hell on Earth, and Quake. Depending on the character used in normal gameplay (playing through the normal Quake II scenarios), the weapons they receive and the appearances of powerups and ammo change to fit that character's game. There is a story mode that also utilizes the appearances of the various enemies all together (the player must fight off zombies, demons, Strogg, and Nazis all at the same time). Notably, the mod used content taken directly from the games in question, and for this reason the mod's creator was contacted by id Software and ordered to cease production.
• In Quake III Arena, the Doomguy appears in three of later levels under the name "Doom". He is 6' (1.83 m) tall and weighs 180 lbs. (81 kg), according to the character description from the game. The character "Phobos" is also a Doom Marine, though his skin is darker and his armor is orange instead of green. The third Doom Marine in the game, "Crash", is mentioned as being Doom's female training instructor before arriving at the Arena.
• In Rage, after the initial cut scene, the player enters a dune buggy, where on the dashboard of said buggy is a bobble head of Doom Guy. The Easter egg in the Gearhead vault level of the game is the first room from the Doom game, where the player can pick up a Doom Marine bobblehead in this area.
