Press release edited by Applelinks senior editor Kirk Hiner

Aspyr Media, Inc. will be showcasing id Software's critically acclaimed blockbuster hit, DOOM 3, Friday, February 18th at 7p.m. at the monthly Aspyr game night at Austin, Texas's Apple store.

The Apple Store at Barton Creek Mall hosts this free community event each month to demonstrate the quality of Mac gaming with the latest Macintosh games and the newest Macintosh equipment. Aspyr representatives Andrew Brazell and Glenda Adams will give a short demonstration.

In DOOM 3, the ruins of an ancient Martian civilization have unlocked the secrets to teleportation, and the Union Aerospace Corporation will stop at nothing to harness this world-altering technology. As part of a Marine detachment sent to protect the facility, your duty seemed simple enough...until the invasion. Now, in an epic clash against pure evil, you must fight to understand who is with you, who is against you, and what must be done to stop this nightmare from reaching earth.

DOOM 3's dramatic storyline, pulse-pounding action and incredible graphics combine to produce the most frightening and gripping gaming experience ever created. DOOM 3 utilizes id Software's revolutionary new 3D graphics engine to create disturbingly realistic graphics, with never before seen detail and real-time lighting. Players can fight the forces of evil as a lone marine or battle other marines in team or deathmatch-based multiplayer modes.

The game, under development for Macintosh by id Software and Aspyr, is scheduled to ship in March 2005.
