Default Re: Doom!

It sure was. DOOM completely blew everyone's minds when it came out. First Wolfenstein blew everybody away, but its repetitive design and textures still made its limitations plain. DOOM completely blew the doors off that, and while it may not have been "true" 3D, it was close enough that it felt like a truly immersive 3D world, the first of its kind. And it definitely gave me a scare plenty of times, something most games since haven't matched up to at all.

I'll see the movie, even though by most accounts it sucked. It's kind of silly to turn something active like a game into something passive like a movie anyway. Any attempt to capture the feeling of playing a game is bound to be minimally successful.
