Xbox One is the first digital marketplace to open up pre-orders for the new Doom and Microsoft is adding a little bit of an extra incentive in the form of a pair of classics.

Bethesda and id Software have already excited fans of the original game with its campaign trailer revealed earlier this month. Today, pre-orders have opened up for Xbox One owners, but it's looking like those users are going to get a little something extra if they decide to take the plunge early.

Major Nelson has pointed to the Doom pre-order listing on the Xbox Store, revealing that while it will still come with the Demon Multiplayer Pack, it's also set to include copies of the original Doom and Doom II. These are most likely the Xbox Live Arcade versions of the two games, which are currently on the Xbox One backwards compatibility list.

If users decide to take the plunge, their copies of Doom and Doom II are expected to arrive 7-10 days after they place their order. The all-new Doom is set to release on May 13.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
