doom was never meant to be scary. Thats the problem with this game, like quake 2, it didnt follow in the great footsteps of its predecessors

Doom3 is probably the weakest horror game ever if that was even its attempt. I shat my pants more with System Shock.

this area was scary when I was a kid. With the low ceilings and the darkness and monster noises and stuff.

Try Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl. I think it qualifies as retro, it was released March 2007 and the sticky says anything before December 2007. There's not a lot of horror in the game but what is there is pretty good, especially if you play it at night with headphones on. I reckon the scary bits are scarier than the scary bits in Doom 3, which are mostly jump scares in the dark. In Doom 3 you have so many guns too and so much ammo even on hard mode that it makes it a bit less scary.

This was a good but flawed game. Probably average to only slightly above average at best. The graphics and lighting for its time was phenomenal. The lighting even today is still great. The combat lacked serious impact though. Monsters/Demons don't gib like they should have. Gun sounds were weak as well. Very claustrophobic level design all throughout. Wouldn't be bad for some levels but most of the game was this way. I would have preferred a variety of wide open levels and tight corridor levels.

Everyone that worked on the game and has spoken on the subject has said it was.

The classic Doom soundtracks always had a pretty even mix of tracks like At Doom's Gate and Suspense and everything in between like The Imp's Song or Bye Bye American Pie. In fact Doom II actually had way less tracks like At Doom's Gate. Even its Intermission track was darker and moodier than Doom 1's.
