SavageCorona Posted August 4, 2013 I was just thinking about that little piece of paper you get in the box with Doom 3, which says "Turn out the lights, lock the door and enjoy Doom 3." Then I looked in the first page of the manual and it said all that crap about seizures and funnily enough "Play in a well lit room". I'd take pictures but I got rid of my disk copy. I just thought this was a rather funny thing to share just in case nobody else noticed. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted August 4, 2013 It's only unsafe if you're prone to suffer epileptic seizures. 0 Share this post Link to post
neubejiita Posted August 4, 2013 PSX Doom had the same sort of instructions regarding epilepsy. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted August 4, 2013 Pretty much all games do. If I recall correctly, even Myst did. 0 Share this post Link to post

printz Posted August 4, 2013 SavageCorona said:"Turn out the lights, lock the door and enjoy Doom 3." If room has windows, playing Doom 3 only at night is inconvenient. Otherwise I agree that a cinematic background helps (though locking the door is silly). DISCLAIMER: I first saw that blurb in game reviews and what have you. I can understand it's just coming from id PR on that back cover :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted August 4, 2013 I remember Doom 64 being much more fun in the dark than Doom 3. 0 Share this post Link to post

I know every single game does, I was reminded when I looked in the ROTT 2013 manual then some crap in my brain clicked and remembered Doom 3 came with that message. 0 Share this post Link to post

Koko Ricky Posted August 7, 2013 Not so much. Doom 64 is nearly unplayable in a well lit room with the sun seeping in. Maybe on a fancy new school TV with low reflection, it might be different, but I remember it being a pain in the ass to see anything when I wasn't engulfed in darkness. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted August 7, 2013 Doom 64 was one of two games run during SGDQ for which they had to jack the gamma on the stream up to astronomical amounts. Bonus points to whoever identifies what the other game was ;) 0 Share this post Link to post

SavageCorona Posted August 7, 2013 I'd probably know if I knew what SGDQ is. 0 Share this post Link to post
