Those of you old enough to recall how cool that game was when it came out?
Hehe....I had pretty much forgotton about it but today I found a NIB shareware version at the used bookstore today, unfortunately I forgot I no longer have a 3.5 disk drive to put the damn disks into. 
LOL...oh well, an interesting bit of gaming history I guess...

Quoted: and the vomit it would induce after the weird motion it had I never vomitted, but I did feel sick playing Wolfenstein 3D several times. I think it has something to do with the moving corridors of Wolf3D as opposed to Doom being outside. Unfortunately, Doom eventually got Street Fighter 2 syndrome. What I mean, is that after Street Fighter 2 got big, Capcom released update after meaningless update for the same game with some of the improvements being kinda trivial. After Doom 2, we got a slew of other Doom games such as Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, and others, I believe. As I remember, there wasn't a whole lot new in the later releases. |

my boss and I used to play till bed time after work on 9600 baud, I had a phase linear 400 with thumpin 12" woofers, a red battle light
and a custom keyboard, I was a doom and doom 2 master (start any level with just a pistol and win on ultra violence) My favorite was secret level 15a |

First Wolfenstein, then Doom. God I had fun. I loved chainsawing the pink gorillas. I played so much I dreamed Doom. That's pretty funny - I remember playing so much at college that I had those types of dreams. My dreams did not usually replicate gameplay, but would often be people I knew in real life interacting in one of the levels/rooms in Doom! Pretty freaky! The only dreams stranger than those are the ones when I would forget to remove the nicorette patches before going to bed! Positively psychedelic! |

Heck, I played Wolfenstein when it was 2d. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh53/bloatingfloater/misc/CastleWolfensteinPickChest.png "Fuck, fuck, fuck, hurry and open already, the SS are on my tail!!!" Shoot it a couple of times! Cuts the time down!

Someone explain this - it looks like Doom 3 was released for xbox several years ago but Amazon wants $60+ for it. Is it really that good? It doesn't even look like it's Xbox 360.
According to Google, Doom 3 Limited Collectors Edition prices: Buy.com - $12.95 Amazon - $98.95 JJGames - $10.83 Bull Moose (?) - $17.42 GamesDirectOnline - $12.95 |

Forgot about that trick. You had to time it right or just hope you didn't shoot open something explosive, classic. Loved it when you needed ammo and you got Schnapps. Enough of the 2D highjack, I guess. Yes, DOOM was awesome, burned many an hour glued to the PC.
