How did you get into doom?

[skadoomer]

Heh, lets all tell stories about how we first got addicted to this game that has us ranting and raving in the dw forms.

I first got into doom back in '94 when i got a 5 finger discount on the retail version of doom. Only i didn't have a computer to play it on. So i tried installing it on my firends 386, which proved to be quite unsucesful. Then in '95, got a computer and put doom on it and loved the fuckin thing. A few monts later i happened to get my hands on a copy of doom II (thank you planet warez!) and i havn't put it down since.

Again? You know, this topic is almost in EVERY thread. In fact, I think there's one of these in thread2 or thread3... :)

I typed "Doom" at the DOS prompt.

Wow, that was basically the same thing that happened with me. I don't think it was an egghead store, and I'm not sure how old I was...

The SNES version was my gateway drug.

I played it and liked it, and I imagine thats the same for everyone, can we please move on?

i started with wolfenstein in '93,then when doom came out,i got the shareware version,loved the damn game,and finally bought the full version.when doom 2 came out i thought i had died,and now i am waiting for doom 3.i hope it's as good(or better) as doom was when it first came out.

I loved Wolfenstein 3d. I logged on to one of the local BBSs and saw a game called Doom (said it was like Wolfenstein).

I downloaded it and was blown away and then called up all of my friends....the rest is history.

I was a wolfenstein fan and then one day a freind of my dad's told him (and conversely me) about this hot new 3d game that was coming out... had to have a 386 to run it so I ended up upgrading (from 286).

THat 386 was around for a long time.

Wasn't long before I was taking screenshots of the game and modifying them in dpaint2.

Didn't get quake1 until about '98, quake2 until recently (a few months back), and quake3demo until a few days ago (heh, and it sux).

I'm a gamer. Games are my life. Doom is a good game. Makes sense to me.

DOOM 32X for me. 'Nuff Said.
