It's time to set the record straight: Doomguy's armor does not have a tummy window, his shirt just got ripped

This article clarifies that Doomguy's iconic armor from the original Doom does not feature a deliberate 'tummy window,' but rather a ripped shirt exposing his abs, a detail stemming from Don Punchatz's cover art. While subsequent games and fan art have often depicted this as an intentional design choice, John Romero confirmed that the torn shirt was an artistic decision by Punchatz, not an in-game feature.
