Daddy want.

Doom 2 was one of the first pc games I ever played, along with Duke Nuken 3d, and RTS game Command and Conquer. This would have been 1996ish.

Doom II was the first first-person game I played against people. I remember meeting people on BBS' and playing against them. At first they'd either call my phone line, or I'd call theirs, but eventually I went to a bigger BBS that would allow multiple people to connect. Still, I don't remember playing any deathmatches with more than three players.

Man, that was addicting. Watching someone shoot a missle at you from a distance was incredible.

I bought the full version of Doom II (on floppies) but I don't think I ever bothered to pass it. No... wait... I do remember fighting the last guy. Maybe I did? Or maybe I cheated and got to the last level. I do remember playing that over and over and over again to finally kill him.

I see that Doom III will be out on Xbox as well. Even though the graphics won't be as good, I may get that (eventually). My home PC has about the same processor as my Xbox.

Sheeeit, I was playing Doom (the original) back in 1993/94. On a 50MHz 486.

Well, I saw it on our unit's only PC, but I never got to spend the 40 hours to play it.

We played the demo of Doom a lot as well. I never bought the game, but liked it enough to get Doom II when it came out.

My stepfather had given me his old 386 that had an overdrive kit installed to make it a 486. It wa a big improvement from the Macintosh I had been using. My Mac had a tiny b&w screen, and an external 2400 baud modem for hooking up with BBS's.

Damn, I remember when I saw the demo for Doom. I was like, "Damn, look at the lighting effects." Cos up till then, I'd only fucked 'round w\ Wolfenstein 3D.

I missed out on Wolfenstein 3D. I had a Mac when it was out. I didn't even see it played until after I started getting bored with Doom II.

I love the Aliens mod to Doom II. It was the first time I was scared while playing a video game. I still remember playing it that first night. It was incredible.

Hell, I played the original Castle Wolfenstein on my Atari 800.

That was before it was 3D

I played it on my Apple II+ clone. Old School Castle Wolfenstein that is.

Was it out for the Commodore 64? I had a bunch of games back then. I remember playing California Games & Skate or Die all the time.

You're damn right it was out for C64. I owned a copy.

Malcolm, you're not old enough to have had a C64 :;):

He probably thinks it's a Palm Pilot model number.

"C64. . . That had Palm verion 2.1, didn't it? Ya. That's OLD SCHOOL!!"

I did indeed have a C64. & eventually, I bought my ass the mighty C128.

I have two C64s, and I still use my TRS-80 Model 100 on a regular basis.
