Forgotten foundations of Doom

Great writeup on the origins of FPS's here:

I love a hyper realistic shooter as much as the next guy, but hot damn if doom doesn't hold up well for its age. Why don't we get FPS's like this any more?

As matter of fact we have. (if you are talking about grudge felty FPS games)

Doom 3 and Doom 3 ROE.

Half life 1, 2, 2 Ep1, 2 Ep2.

Return to the castle Wolfinstine.

great article and some very good points about user accessability,
might have to look at reinstalling and cranking out some saturday morning map packs

I just played through all of doom 1 plus ep4, quake 1 and its mission packs, and quake 2 this past month. They all hold up really well. THey really are fun, but in a very different way than most modern shooters.
Going to finish that ID superpack in the next few months I think.

I think Doom should be a free game now.

I mean come on, it's a cult classic. It's like a bible.
