For me it was definitely DOOM 2! Miles ahead of anything else I had played before.

    I remember when DOOM came out. There was a little crowd of maybe 8-12 people at the computer huddled around a 486 demo running the shareware version of the game, I think it was at Fry’s Electronics, everyone was entirely stunned by how good the graphics were.

      Seeing DOOM for the first time was amazing. I’d seen Wolfenstein 3D, but I couldn’t stand the graphics and it made me nauseous. DOOM looked much better and the music was cool too. I would watch my dad play for hours but I didn’t play it myself until my dad gave me the cheat codes (As an 8 year old girl, I was too scared to play without invincibility lol, I’d panic and quit as soon as I was taking any damage). I loved exploring the levels and trying to find the secret areas.
