Doom2 was Doom1 made better and more challenging Doom was awesome for the ways it was possible to build levels. Other shooters at that time did not support such level design. Shooters which I remember besides Doom: - Hexen (1) - Duke Nukem 3D - Heretic (1) And then there is Shadowcaster, using an advanced version of the Wolfenstein 3D engine, made by Ravensoft (the same guys who brought us Heretic and Hexen later on). I played it late when it already was considered old - back at its days it must have been awesome.

Blood (1) was epic, I mean being able to play soccer with a zombie's head was comedy gold. And the voodoo doll, loved that game. The first half of the first Episode was truly epic, also the part where you're spilling blood in some old mansion was gorgeous... but there were way too many levels which just sucked by design. So in total it can't keep up with Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, although the bonus for kicking zombie heads, crazy monks as enemy, pitchfork and hair spray fueled flame thrower is huge.

"get off my train", 'zombie jumps off train' I liked dark carnival too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ4HLBftEMU and some swamp level with the creepy transparent ghosts/spectres that screamed in your face while carving in you with their scythes. -edit, yeah I think reapers are the monsters I meant
