DMFDxUconn Posted July 11, 2004 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
chilvence Posted July 11, 2004 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Use Posted July 11, 2004 First machine I played a respectable game of Doom on was a 486 66mhz iirc, with an sb16. 0 Share this post Link to post
Erp Posted July 11, 2004 Packard Bell 386 25Mhz 4megs ram, with DOS 5. Barely played it in low resolution. PC speaker sound. 0 Share this post Link to post
leileilol Posted July 11, 2004 486 40MHz, RTVGA (whatever the hell that is), and a Sound Blaster. Way early 94. 13. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sporku Posted July 11, 2004 I was five years of age, and I believe I had a 386 when I first played Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
stoned Posted July 11, 2004 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 0 Share this post Link to post
Mogul Posted July 11, 2004 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. 0 Share this post Link to post

pritch Posted July 11, 2004 I was 11, and I played it on a (then brand new) 486 in my cousin's place in Canada. That was early 1994. 0 Share this post Link to post
Graf Zahl Posted July 11, 2004 386 40Mhz 4MB. (Yes, it ran like shit on that but I got a 486 66 MHz 8MB a few months later...) 0 Share this post Link to post
Szymanski Posted July 11, 2004 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nmn Posted July 11, 2004 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 0 Share this post Link to post
Mancubus II Posted July 11, 2004 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted July 11, 2004 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted July 11, 2004 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... 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted July 11, 2004 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. 0 Share this post Link to post

SunlapseVertigo Posted July 11, 2004 9 years old, in 1993, on my first ever computer: Pentium 75mhz 8mb ram 650 GB HD 15" monitor Sound Blaster 0 Share this post Link to post
BrainSt0rm Posted July 11, 2004 23 and I played the shareware version on a friends laptop. It was an old IBM thinkpad. Been hooked ever since. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted July 11, 2004 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... 0 Share this post Link to post
