Doom is now available in all it’s original fantastic glory, on the iPhone.  Doom Classic has been released, and for $7 you can play through all the thrills of FPS’s original innovator with a whole new level of portability.  Doom Classic offers all 36 levels of hell, spanning the four chapters Knee Deep In The Dead, Shores of Hell, Inferno, and Thy Flesh Consumed.

Doom Classic will also be supported by online Wi-Fi multiplayer.  The game will have two modes, 4 player Deathmatch, and up to 4 players cooperative through Doom’s four campaigns.  The game will also have multiple control types, so you can adjust your iPhone to suit your fragging style.  

I’m always up for more shooters on the iPhone, because shooters are awesome.  As long as the conversions keep going as well as Doom and Wolfenstein, I’m willing to try anything.  The iPhone has the power to faithfully recreate plenty of shooters, we just need more big developers to step up to the plate.  

All the talk points towards the iPhone being the new mobile gaming device to compete with PSP and Nintendo DS.  But for that to happen, they need more big developers to be willing to try the iPhone’s capabilities on for size.  Instead of good ports, how about some great original games developed with the iPhone’s controls in mind.
