This was even long before games became super mainstream like they are now. You know, I think it was estimated that Doom shareware was installed on over ten million computers back in the day. Playing through both games in this way felt like appreciating history, especially with the pixelated software rendering and limited color palette. I played through the first couple of levels occasionally and eventually I decided to sit down and actually play through the full version in Crispy Doom. I remember the ending of episode 1 and how much it startled me, getting torn to shreds by monsters I could barely see. I'm not sure where or when I played it so I'll just pretend it was through dosbox on a school chromebook. Much like a lot of others, my first experience was with the shareware. ZeroTheEro - I've never played Doom with PC speaker sounds, but the fact that it still scared you is a testament to Doom's perfect design choices. Even with cheats! haha Suburbs on PSX Doom was always my favorite level to run around in with cheats. On SNES and PSX, I'd always play on I'm too Young to Die/easy.

The fire attack that launches you up in the air also used to scare me lol also, puns and dark humor are a big plus for me so it's good to hear you had a *hell* of a good time hahaha also, kudos for being a Chex Quest kid! I never knew about the love everyone had for that little game until I was in my mid-twenties. Going from consoles to PC, I had NO idea about the Arch-Vile. Also, my first experience with the arch-vile was on my grandparent's PC which had Doom 2. The ambient sounds it'd make whenever they were hunting for you. So while I was kinda late to the party, I still love this franchise and still play it often with my brother.ĭude, the Revenant on PS1 Doom always scared the hell out of me. The first time I really played Doom from the beginning to the end was when I was somewhere around 12 and I played it on Hurt Me Plenty. He always gave me Godmode, all weapons infinite ammo and all keys (I was 6 or 7 at the time). He was playing on ZDoom so naturally I also played it in this source port. I think the first time I really played a Doom engine game was when my brother started up Chex Quest for me. I would always refer to the Arch-vile as a skeleton (along with the Revenant) and I would mix up Imps and Cacodemons.

I remember watching both of my brothers play it and asking how the different demons are called. While I don't exactly remember my first time seeing Doom, I know that it definitely was when I was still a little kid (perhaps even 5 years old). It defined my childhood! I drew pictures of Doom at school, got sent to special classes because my teachers said they liked my pictures so much, I got to talk to a bunch of doctors who also liked my Doom drawings, talked about DOOM with friends, played pretend-DOOM on recess, etc. DOOM was way cooler, and still is!Īnyways, I would crank the TV and just soak in the ambience of PS1 Doom. I mean, what kinds of actual nerds cared about wrestling when you had DOOM? I was too grown up for childish things like Wrestlemania or the WWF. My mom's boyfriend's favorite move was the pile-driver, because he would always shout really loud that he was going to pile-driver her. The boyfriend had Resident Evil and Doom, so of course I'd ask all the time if I could play Doom on his Playstation while him and my mom would practice their wrestling moves upstairs. We still only had a SNES while the PS1 gen was already a couple years in. Later on, my mom got a boyfriend who had a Playstation. I'd never seen a first-person shooter before so I was geeking out, of course. There were some dudes in the common room playing it and I remember being blown the hell away. I'll kick it off: I first saw/played Doom on the SNES (I know, I know) at a homeless shelter with my mom and brothers when I was about 7 years old. Reply with an essay sharing your story or just reply with glyphs and gifs! Or don't reply at all and keep it to yourself! Don't just start writing cause some dweeb like me asked you to! What's your first memory of Doom? What platform did you first play or see it on? Do you like to make levels yourself and, if so, when did you first start? Gimme the deets! Be verbose or be brief. I'm really curious about everyone's first experience with Doom! Did Doom treat you right? Did Doom buy you breakfast the next morning? Did it call you back? Was Doom introduced to you by a friend, or did you guys/gals meet organically somehow? Was it love at first sight?
