GBA adaptation of id Software's Doom, published by Activision in 2001 on a cartridge shared across the US and PAL markets. Its desirability rests on the aura of the genre-defining FPS and the technical feat of a faithful handheld port, more than on print scarcity. CIB values climb sharply because complete boxed copies grow scarce for a title quickly set aside after launch, while the loose cart stays affordable.
Is Doom still worth playing in 2026?
A GBA port of the legendary Doom, this title brings back the space marine against the demons of Mars in an FPS that was a technical feat on the machine. The frantic pace, the maze-like level design and the original's oppressive mood stay surprisingly intact on the move. The compromises are real: controls without vertical aim, a smaller screen and a reworked soundtrack. A fascinating technical curiosity for fans of retro FPS and the curious to see Doom run in the palm of their hand.
