ducon Posted November 3, 2005 In fact I don’t really know, I played Doom in 1994 at school, then stopped (no computer) and played it again since 2000. 0 Share this post Link to post

KwadDamyj Posted November 3, 2005 Since sometime late last year (I voted since Doom 3 came out since it was the closest date). I was bored, had $10 on me, noticed the Collector's Edition at Wal-Mart, and snagged it. 0 Share this post Link to post

shotgunmasacre2 Posted November 4, 2005 1994! yeah, I have seen all that has come this way and I have played all of it. 0 Share this post Link to post
188DarkRevived Posted November 4, 2005 Since the winter of 1994 and the spring of 1995. ...Yeah, I know, I'm a slow adopter. I was just so hooked on Wolfenstein and Blake Stone that I didn't feel a sudden need to move on. But I did move on eventually anyways. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted November 4, 2005 Quast said: First played a limited amount of sharware doom and then doom 2 around 94-95 at a friends house. My family finaly got a computer/internet in '97 and I got ultimate doom and doom 2 for my own. I ended up finding age of empires and quake shortly after that and forgot all about doom until around 00-01 when I discovered legacy. I remember a period where I was playing less DOOM and more Duke3D, Quake and stuff, and then I found Doom Legacy (I quite recall the green logo) and said "oh shit, you can look up and down and jump like in Duke3D!" I wonder what makes Legacy so popular; it shows up way before any other engines on a search (after DOOM 3/id Software/DOOM imdb on a Google search for "doom".) 0 Share this post Link to post

188DarkRevived Posted November 6, 2005 Started teaching myself how to map in 1998 - 1999. It took me almost two years (because of school and real life crap) before I began coming up with something that looked decent enough to be presented to the public. 0 Share this post Link to post
-_DLD_- Posted November 6, 2005 I tried mapping (before I knew how to make doors) when I was 9 or something. Then I stopped...and I started again in early 2004. Made some maps, sucked ass. Started again. Maps are apparently not wows. 0 Share this post Link to post
