13. You do know the current version of doom is rated M

Dec 2012

The original version was rated m as soon as the ratings came out. Same for mortal combat, right.

M means mature audiences, over 18.

So if your 13 year old neighbor got it, ask which adult got it for him. Hell, I owned a copy, and before the ratings came out I had the good sense to keep doom away from teens, and the Barney mod IS Hysterical.
