How you discovered the Doom series? / Your first time playing Doom?

Recommended Posts

Baron of Hell - Minotaur

Imp - Raptor. The first time my brothers and I played Doom, we thought the first imp in E1M1 on UV was a velociraptor because, while we couldn't see it well, the noises it made reminded us of the JP raptors.

And those were the only 2 we had nicknames for, until the manual set us straight.

Zombies: "Where'd you come from, chap?!", (îòêóäà âû âûñêî÷èëè, äÿäåíüêà?!)later - Chap... I was 8 at the time, and was insanely afraid of them.
Imp: Monkey (Ìàêàêà)
Pinky Demon: Hog (Êàáàí)
Spectre: Shadow (Òåíü)
Baron Of Hell: Superhog (Ñóïåðêàáàí) later - puffy goat.

Thats it, since I only played the shareware back then.

And now that I'm swimming in a sea of Doom, I know all the names.

Nevermind, but why did you call it a gipsy woman? Is there a legend that gipsy women are able to haunt you as a flying skull?

I knew all the names. I pored over the Doom instruction booklet, trying to recreate the monsters, weapons and items pixel by pixel in Clarisworks on my old Mac LCII, because the 286 IBM I had at home didn't have a 3 1/2" floppy drive, nor enough power to run Doom once it was on there. I stopped that shit as soon as my dad brought home a brand new Dell XPS P90 from work. Holy shit I was in for a surprise. Anyway yeah, no stupid names from me.

Hmm, the only nicknames I can really remember were the ones I gave the Revenant and Mancubus.

Revenant = Karate Fag
Mancubus = Fat Guy

I seriously have no idea how I came up with Karate Fag.

I played it for a while before even looking at the manual. I got most of the names right, except I lumped the "Shotgun guy/zombieman" together as simply "zombie." Other than that I was pretty dead on.

I read the manual before I actually played the game, although the manual I had did not have pictures so I had to guess which monsters were which from the descriptions. I used to get the names of revenants and archviles mixed up.

Also, I never used the common monster nicknames like "shotgun guy", "pinky", or "trooper". I always called them by their proper names.
