I don't want to believe that it's been 8 years since the new Doom was released and now there are adults who remember it as a "childhood memory". It's just... wrong.

Anyway, as a child, Doom scared me because of its darkness. It looked much more real on those CRT monitors with a resolution of 320x200, because imagination is more powerful than any modern sourceport.

 

 

Yeah the OP referencing Doom 2016 in a 'back then/as a child' post has just made me feel damn old. Especially as I keep thinking of that game as being pretty recent, and having not got around to playing it yet.

This still scares me bad enough that I have to face (no pun intended) the other way every time I pass it.

That one wall texture with the horned face that just stares at you with red eyes really spooked me out as a kid playing Doom circa 1999.

Nowadays I use it as an easter egg in a map I'm making. Circle of life.

 

 

doom 2016 released 9 years ago, for all we know op could be 18 or 19 and played it "back then" when they were 10.

No doubt. I will contemplate this passage of time on the rocking chair in my porch as I smoke my pipe and embezzle my pension.

 

However, when people talk about "Doom" I am definitely not thinking about the 2016 reboot.

Good thing OP wasn't talking about the movie.
