DOOM not up to par with other shooters of the time??? Ya gotta be kidding me. DOOM had more firsts than I can wave a stick at. Including multiplayer deathmatch, and zillions of graphical firsts.
I'd love to be shown a game before DOOM that was more influencial and has a bigger fan-base and modding community then and today than DOOM.
It was estimated at one point more people had shareware DOOM than Windows. :not_ok:
