Doom c.1993

I've not been playing games that long. That's a fact. A lot of conversations regarding older games often has me silent, listening to people ramble on about various games by/on the SNES, Sega et. al. However, the one that started it all for me, if a few years late, was Doom. And I can't help but smile at the reactions of the people watching- who I'm led to believe is John Romero - playing a beta build of Doom (on a machine with 2Mb RAM...) In a similar vein to how I watch my housemate play PS3 titles, and thinking 'wow', the same applies here, just from 16 years ago.

Doom starts playing at 9:45, and at 17:30 - my quote of the day: "You can shoot him through a portal hehe!".
