uhhhhhhhhh
23 year old Male from the Cambridgeshire Fens in England (around the northern area of the blob on the eastern side). I remember the hype in games magazines when Doom first came out, but our family has never been very rich, and at that time we where, well, broke, to be quite honest. Had a Megadrive though and got insanely jelous when the SNES "got" Doom (well, kind of).
A friend of mine did have PC, and his dad got the shareware not long after it came out, thanks to somebody he worked with who had this amazing new "internet" thing. I guess i must have been about 9 at the time, and the chance of actually getting to play this amazing game i had been reading about was literally jaw-dropping. Though we basically just mucked around in E1 with the cheats on BFGing imps.
Later in around '95 or '96 we won a Playstation off a packet of Cheese Strings and the first game i got for it was Doom. Likewise for the PC when we got one in 1999. I discovered Doomworld (amongst other sites like Doomsphere) shortly afterwards, in fact it was probably the first thing i looked for after "Tifa FF7 Naked". A friend had told me there was "28,000 different sites with levels on" on the internet and i fancied some. I think i first joined the DW forums in early 2001, though didnt visit much at first, then i left for ages after the "new" forums where started and finally came back in... 2003?
