Doom was originally sold only by mail-order, the demo with the first episode shared online for free. When GT Interactive wanted to pay iD to make Doom 2 as a regular retail product, they figured they'd give the first game a retail release too, so people could grab both games off the shelf in a store and have the full experience. They'd call this product The Ultimate Doom.

To incentivize this, they added a fourth episode to the first game, Thy Flesh Consumed, which had 9 new official levels designed to be more challenging than the original game. If you had already bought Doom by mail-order, you could get your old version of Doom upgraded to The Ultimate Doom for free with just a downloadable patch, so you didn't have to buy the game again to get that new bonus content.
