What system did you have your 1st Doom expierence?

[DMFDxUconn]

How old were you when you first played Doom? and on what system?
I think i was 22 when i first played it on the Sega Genesis 32X.

[chilvence]

I was 14 or something, someone had given me the shareware discs a couple of years before but I had never heard of the game and wasnt really into gaming in any big way. I just tried it one day out of boredom and then my life was over before it began.

[Use]

First machine I played a respectable game of Doom on was a 486 66mhz iirc, with an sb16.

SNES

[Grazza]

66MHz 486 DX with no soundcard.

[Erp]

Packard Bell 386 25Mhz 4megs ram, with DOS 5. Barely played it in low resolution. PC speaker sound.

[leileilol]

486 40MHz, RTVGA (whatever the hell that is), and a Sound Blaster. Way early 94. 13.

Shamefully, SNES

[Sporku]

I was five years of age, and I believe I had a 386 when I first played Doom.

[stoned]

It was on my friends 486/50MHz (iirc), right after Doom was released. Then later on my own 486/66. I bought pc just because i wanted to play Doom and Wolf3D. :D

Pretty sure it was a pretty hot 486. Sound Blaster. It was before DOOM II came out. I know that much... I doubt it was in 1993. It was at a friend's house.

[Trilinear]

10 years old.

Intel 486-DX2 66mhz
8mb DRAM
Creative Sound Blaster 16 ISA
14" CTX SVGA monitor
540mb Hard Drive

[pritch]

I was 11, and I played it on a (then brand new) 486 in my cousin's place in Canada. That was early 1994.

[Graf Zahl]

386 40Mhz 4MB. (Yes, it ran like shit on that but I got a 486 66 MHz 8MB a few months later...)

[Szymanski]

18, played it on my flatmates 386, pc speaker and screen size at the minimum. I first completed doom on the sega megadrive before getting a P133.

[Nmn]

About 8 years old.
On my brother's old 486 with 8 MB of Ram. We played Doom and a couple weeks later Doom2. That was somewhere in 1994

[Manc]

Saw it at a friend's on a 386 4mb ram, PC speaker sound, but the first machine I actually had my own copy on was a 486 sx/33 with 4MB of ram and a 428MB hard disk.

[Captain Red]

66MHz 486 DX. shareware. (early shareware, it had no nightmare skill and swastika was still there.) I think I was 10.
The computer had a sound card, but it took me a while to get the sound working. in those days, I cheated the hell out of everything I played. infact, Doom was one of the first games I finished without cheating.

I also played PSX doom before I got doom 2 for PC.

[Spike]

Aged 14-ish, playing on a 386DX 40Mhz with 8mb RAM and a basic soundblaster card... argh, and a 40mb hard disk! I remember Strike Commander coming out and freaking cuz it filled the whole damn thing...

[Bucket]

Hmm. First I was pissed because we'd had a 286 when it came out. I'd played the game at a friend's house and got hooked. Then about a year later my dad caved in and got us a 486-100Mhz. Back then, it seemed like that little monster could handle ANYTHING I put into it.

Then Quake came out.

[doomaddict]

I played DOOM on the slowest computer available back then.

[Richo Rosai]

SNES

The greatness of the gameplay and level design really shone through, and I still find it charming to this day.

9 years old, in 1993, on my first ever computer:

Pentium 75mhz
8mb ram
650 GB HD
15" monitor
Sound Blaster

[BrainSt0rm]

23 and I played the shareware version on a friends laptop. It was an old IBM thinkpad.

Been hooked ever since.

[The Ultimate DooMer]

I was 15 when I somehow found a shareware copy in the shops and played it on a 386 sx25 upgraded to 4 megs ram (one of those PC/Megadrive combos). Just about playable with a size 3 screen. (or a full screen on low detail mode)

That dark passage in Phobos Lab was really scary on the first play...
