JKHSawyer: Come get some.
lol. literally lol.
Added a few games.
In for Loren the Amazon Princess, huge thanks and +1.

Doom is one of the first game I ever played on a PC. It was so exciting because it was gory as hell and gloomy, much more funny than this boring Wolfentein 3D.
I remember the secret area in Doom 2 with these children hang up that you have to "finish" to complete the level. So scandalous !
And the chainsaw, hard to use often but grat on imps. I still have the sound in the head.

I also played the N64 version. Not bad at all, but Nintendo obliged to censored the gorest parts.

The secret level you speak of was Map 32, it was a reference to Wolfenstein 3D's Floor 10. The children you mention were Commander Keen sprites, a reference to id's first breakthrough game.

Adrian Carmack, the lead artist behind Keen, Wolf 3D and DOOM, hated doing the art for Commander Keen, so he snuck that in as his "revenge".

Enjoy the game.
I'd like Overruled, thanks.

Hmm, I didn't like original DOOM, but I quite enjoyed DOOM: Perverse :p

Thanks a lot for the story and the game, I remember there was a reference but not this one ! I think easter eggs were better at that time than nowadays.
Doom IS the greatest game ever.

That said, I remember commenting about Wolf 3D with an uncle and he told me about Doom, this game full of monsters that was better and if you shot the barrels, they would explode, unlike wolfenstein (years later we would have a very similar exchange comparing Doom to Duke 3D).

Some time later, I went to a friend's house and he was playing it. He was playing episode 3 and, though I'm pretty sure I saw the final level of it (spider mastermind included), I don't remember if he was already there or if he cheated to get there and show me the boss.

At a certain point, I got an illegal copy of the game and some more time later a friend got me an illegal copy of Doom 2.

I would only finally own a legal copy of all Doom games when I got them in that id software superpack on steam, back on the early days of the store.

I also remember not liking much Doomguy's face at first. B.J. from Wolf looked so much more badass and heroic. Nowadays I like his face a lot and utterly miss the HUD mugshots in FPSs.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, no game for me, thank you. ^_^

Sachys: though that is probably not aided by the one friend with a PC I knew at the time, being one of those who never actually let you play, and forced you to watch them play for hours on end.
I first played Doom at a friend's too. Luckily he was one of those with whom I played a lot together, and it was more often a case of "Go ahead, it's your turn now." "Are you sure? Don't you want to have another go?" Too bad 20 years later he is no longer a gamer :'(

I got Doom and it was a definite improvement over Wolf 3D which I loved. Unfortunately my PC would run it very slowly, so I took it over to my friend and we played at his machine which could run it smoothly.

I got a new PC later and played Doom a lot but unlike Wolfenstein 3D, I've never gotten to completing it. I still have it, so maybe I will some day.

Not in, thanks for the giveaway.
Friendly chainsaw to your gut bump.

Great stories BTW.

JKHSawyer: Deadfall Adventures -CLAIMED-
Rarely do I get exactly what I was hoping for in a game, but this time I did!

This game is the Indiana Jones/Alan Quartermain adventure genre in a game. Just the right PG-13 level of gore, scares, and innuendo. The graphics are just cartoony enough to let you feel the fun just a tad more than the danger. It's paced nicely, with pulse-raising action sequences alternated with take-as-much-time-as-you-need puzzle solving.

The voice acting is adequate and sometimes makes you giggle. The character modles are fine when they stand still, but there is something very wrong with their shoulders when they move.

I like it very much. Thank you again.
