Was never a fan but its probably one of the, if not the most influential games of all time. Happy birthday (yesterday!) Doom!

I remember around 1995 getting my first PC (a discounted 'cheapo' 386 SX 25 if memory serves) from my dad's work and playing Doom on it. It was a bit sluggish at times but I absolutely fell in love.

Ok my first was a 386 dx 30 I think with a maths co processor and 40 mb or so of disk hehe . Played doom ok on it tho. I upgraded it in 94 to a 486 think it was 100mhz. And that played doom good . And free from copies floating around uni

The first real "lets carbon copy another shooter and sell it as other sh*t" of the industry

Doom demo was installed on all the windows pc's at Uni back in 1993 - had some great multiplayer action over the network

Sandy 'Call of Cthulhu' Petersen did some of the level design too - awesome!

The first two games I played on the PlayStation 1 was Doom and Alien Trilogy. Loved em.

Remember playing it on my ultra powerful 486 DX2 based computer back in the day, certainly was scary when going in to black areas.

Like it or not, it did change the way we play computer games. And the look of computer games in general.

Can't believe its only 20 years old; feels like longer. First LAN game I ever played (working at CompuServe, someone had created a map based on their Ohio HQ, which was a real eye-opener the first time I visited the place for real and saw the potential for virtual environments), although that was later; 95-96.
