Summary
A ‘SONY PlayStation’ game called ‘DOOM’ complete with original box and instructions. The box is made of transparent plastic in a square, with a narrow black strip of plastic down the left side, imprinted with 'PlayStation' going from bottom to top vertically. There is a hologram sticker on the bottom left of the plastic case. Once opened the case contains a paper printed insert held in place by small plastic securers to create the cover. It has the PlayStation logo in the top left corner, an image of a man shooting a green creature and another different creature behind the man. A logo for 'DOOM' is central across the top in blue and yellow. To the right is the 'BBFC 15' age classification in a red and white circle. In a silver banner across the base is 'PlayStation PLATINUM'. Down both right and left sides in the plastic are paper inserts that say 'DOOM(TM)' in white on black backgrounds with the PlayStation logo at the top end and 'SELES 00132' at the other. Back inside the box is a paper information booklet printed in black and white text inside but with colour covers to match the paper insert. Also inside is a light grey card insert perforated into three sections one in English the others in French and Spanish, it has mailing addresses on one side and a questionnaire for the buyer to fill in and return. In a black plastic moulded section is the disc itself with silver background with logos and title etc, but with a large quantity of black text going around its circumference. The reverse of the disc is black. The back cover has 'All Hell's Breaking Loose!' in yellow across the top, then a description in three languages about the game in white text, followed by three game shots, a silver background on the left with PlayStation information and the barcode. At the base from the left are more logos and game information and copyrights et cetera.
