Offer ends 18 June Review: Still numero Uno If only I had the vocabulary to explain how this game struck my 13yr old self when I first saw it not long after we purchased our first PC in early 1995 - a 486DX2 80MHz, 8MB RAM. At that time I was experienced in 8-bit games, mostly simple 2D action and platformers I used to play on by then obsolete 48K ZX Spectrum we used to have since roughly '87. The blow was softened somewhat by two weeks of Lion King and Goblins 3 (and Dune which I didn't understand Jack sheit) before dad brought Doom. But when it appeared on screen - God damn did it look good. Sound Blaster 16 hadn't arrived yet so it was the PC Speaker ... but it didn't matter. The graphic, the fluidity of motion, the vividness of action, enemies, guns,... and when the SB16 came... no words. And of course all that loaded nearly instantly compared to waiting 5-10 minutes for the cassette to load 48 kilobytes into Speccy's RAM. The transition was drastic to say the least. For the next 5 years I became an uber-master with keyboard controlled FPS of the time: Quake, Duke 3D, Shadow Warrior, Blood, etc. With circumstantial switch to mouse for Quake in one Game EXPO I visited in '98. Wiped the floor even tho I had never touched a mouse with a FPS back then. Still it felt weird so I returned to KB and washed away my sins. Eventually I saw the light during one multiplayer baptizing process in after highschool LAN where I tried to own AVP with KB, lol. It was a funny episode let me tell you (wasn't last tho). But I'll leave that for another occasion. All I can say is that after 25 years not one FPS has nailed or surpassed the way Doom plays out as a pure straight shooter. Not one FPS. Doom does enemies, gunplay, movement, maps, atmosphere, visuals, SFX and music like no other. ------ QUAKE https://store.steampowered.com/app/2320/QUAKE_II/ Shortly after landing on an alien surface, you learn that hundreds of your men have been reduced to just a few. Now you must fight your way through heavily fortified military installations, lower the city's defenses and shut down the enemy's war machine. Only then will the fate of humanity be known.
