Doom Classic finally available for the iPhone — Cover artist dies at 73

We recently reported on Doom for the iPhone. The developers said that it was just awaiting approval from Apple, and it seems like this has finally been done. The new Doom game should not be confused with Doom: Resurrection, a previous release for the handheld device.

The new Doom game will come with a selling price of $6.99, roughly R70 for South Africans — if it is ever available in our iStore.

Doom Classic includes four-episodes, “Knee-deep in the Dead,” “Shores of Hell,” “Inferno” and “Thy Flesh Consumed.” There are various control configurations and they will definitely take some time to get used to.

Sadly, bad news follows the release of the game. It was said that the man responsible for Doom’s front cover, Don Ivan Punchatz, has passed away at the age of 73. Punchatz was involved with various companies as he created art for numerous books and magazines.

Best of luck to his family and friends, and we will keep memories fresh with the new iPhone game.
