id Software has tinkered with the price of DOOM Classic [$1.99] more than ten or so times since its release in mid-2009, but it hasn't thrown in an update or tweak… until now. I'm still kinda stunned that the studio even bothered considering the age of this iteration of the shooter, but I'm also pretty jazzed about version 2.0, which adds retina support, universal support, a new menu layout, and a few "minor bug fixes."

If you weren't on the ground floor of the App Store's coming out party, you may have missed this entirely. I guess the good news in this particular regard is that DOOM Classic's price has been reduced now, too, from $6.99 to just $1.99. Deal!

We've little indication of why either the price drop or the update have happened. I can't even conjure a solid marketing reason � id has been crunching on RAGE as it finally spirals towards a release, but the fledgling series has nothing to do with the DOOM, so there's no immediate gain. Regardless, DOOM Classic is now cheaper and better and that's pretty cool.
