Attachment Doom II has two secret levels designed as a tribute to other id titles. The first secret level titled "Wolfenstein" is largely based on the first map in Wolfenstein 3D. A secret exit in the level leads to the second secret map, titled "Grosse", referencing Hans Grosse, the first boss in Wolfenstein 3D. To beat "Grosse", the player has to shoot four hanging Commander Keens and flip a switch. Commander Keen is the protagonist in multiple platformer games also developed by id.

Attachment Onox's name is misspelled twice in Oracle of Ages as 'Knox'. The first time is when Twinrova announces that the three flames are now lit, saying that the Flames of Sorrow and Destruction were lit by "Veran and Knox". Later when battling Twinrova, she announces that she will "not fall like Knox or Veran". Curiously, this does not occur in Oracle of Seasons.

Attachment The audio used for the ChuChus is an argument between two Japanese men, but sped up and played in reverse.

The man at the start says "At least I'm not balding" and the man near the end says "and looking like you are, people will think you're a monster".

Thank you to SteelBallJack for the translation. The audio has been updated from the source, as it wasn't reversed until now.

In 1995, it was estimated that Doom was installed on to more computers than Microsoft's own Windows 95. This led Bill Gates to briefly consider buying id Software, so they could have the rights to the Doom name. This also led to the development of a Windows 95 port of the game to promote the operating system as a gaming platform.

The idea for the game came from an elevator ride with Shinji Hashimoto (Final Fantasy and Square producer) and a Disney producer, who shared the same building in Tokyo. They came up with a crossover as a vague production idea, and the head of Square-Enix, Hironobu Sakaguchi, later agreed to the idea.
