GETTING STARTED
Set up your PlayStation™ Game Console according to its Instruction Manual. Make sure the power is off before inserting or removing a compact disc. Insert the FINAL DOOM™ disc and close the CD door. Insert game controllers and turn on the PlayStation™ game console. Follow on-screen instructions to start a game. •
If playing Cooperative or Death Match, connect two PlayStation™ Game Consoles with the Link Cable™ before power is turned on. Front View

Game Setup
Use the Directional Pad or Mouse to move the Skull Icon up or down. Press Left or Right to modify. Press any of the four Icon Buttons to activate a selection.
Set your desired Game Mode, Episode or Difficulty. Select and activate Options to enter the Options Menu. Start the game by pressing "Start".
2 PLAYER MODES
DEATH MATCH MODE
Just you and your buddy - no monsters. Only skill and strategy will prevail.
See those weapons? Grab 'em and hunt down your adversary. Don't worry about being greedy, those weapons will reappear in 30 seconds.
Every time you kill your opponent, that's one more frag for you. Kill yourself, you lose a frag.
If you die, press any Icon Button and you'll be randomly respawned somewhere in the level.
The player with the most frags at the exit switch wins. Now, get busy!
COOPERATIVE MODE
The levels are hard, the monsters tougher, but you and your buddy can rock 'n roll together.
Once a weapon gets picked up, it's gone. So, share those weapons and ammo, you'll both need 'em.
If you die, just press any Icon Button and you'll be respawned at the level entrance. You might have to backtrack to pick up those security keys again.
No screwin' around here. Lock, load and find your buddy fast. He needs you!
LINK CABLE SET-UP
Make sure the Link Cable™ is firmly connected to each PlayStation™ Game Console before power is turned on. The first player to select and activate Death Match or Cooperative Mode sets the level and difficulty of the competition.
Your partner must also select and activate either Death Match or Cooperative Mode to begin the competition.
Each PlayStation™ Game Console will attempt to "look" for its partner. If you are experiencing problems, make sure the Link Cable™ is firmly attached to each PlayStation™ Game Console and reset each unit. USING DOORS, ELEVATORS & SWITCHES
To open most doors and operate switches, stand directly in front of them and press the O Button. When you successfully operate a switch, it will change in some way - lights up, flips a handle, etc.
If a switch does not change after a couple of tries, it might not be a switch or you may have already flipped it. Some switches may be used repeatedly and some only once.
SECURITY CARDS
SKULL KEYS
HIDDEN DOORS
Some doors are hidden. Many can be opened by finding a switch. In some cases you just need to walk up to the wall and press the O Button. If you've found a secret door, it will open for you.
Look for the clues that will reveal a secret door: a wall that's shifted down or is a different color, a flashing light on the wall, etc.
ELEVATORS
You'll see platforms that raise and lower. Some platforms operate continuously, while others must be activated. Some of them sense your proximity and lower automatically.
Others have a nearby switch. Those without a switch can usually be operated by walking up to the platform and pressing the O Button.
TELEPORTERS
Teleporters are identified by a gray or red square on the floor beneath them. To use a teleporter, walk over the symbol.
If you teleport onto someone or something, it will instantly kill them. This is known as "telefrag". Be careful when playing cooperative or you'll soon be on your own.
COMPLETING AN AREA
At the end of each area in FINAL DOOM™ there is an Exit Chamber, generally marked by a special door or an "EXIT" sign. (Plutonia Exits are marked with a diamond symbol).
Enter this chamber, press the switch inside to exit the area and head onward.
When you finish an area, an ACHIEVEMENT SCREEN tallies your performance: hidden regions located, ratio of kills and percentage of items found.
ETERNAL LIFE AFTER DEATH
If you die, you restart the level at the beginning with a pistol and 50 rounds of ammo. You have no "lives" limit. You can keep restarting the level as often as you're killed.
The entire level is restarted from scratch, too. Monsters you killed before are back again, just like you.
