Id Software's highly anticipated iPhone title, DOOM Classic [App Store, $6.99], is now available in the App Store. Ported from the original, DOOM Classic sports all three original episodes as well as the independently created fourth episode, Thy Flesh Consumed. Weighing in at 76.8MB, the game comes with a total of 36 levels from the original first person shooter. Additionally, DOOM Classic also supports wireless multiplayer (we presume over Bluetooth). Multiplayer comes in two flavors; co-op and deathmatch.

Just in time for Halloween, too!

The wireless multiplayer.

One thing that I've noticed is that the wireless multiplayer is less to be desired. Turns out that it's local wifi ONLY. No bluetooth, no Internet. LOCAL wifi ONLY. This is a bummer I'd say. Let's hope it's changed in an upcoming update.

A side note is that they're planning on adding DLC for the game and hopefully bringing more DOOM games to the actual app. Buy an add-on pack of DOOM 2 etc.? I'm game.
