Submerge Posted April 5, 2002 Doom 1 shareware, just like 99.99% of the rest of the planet. Interesting topic, though. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lord FlatHead Posted April 5, 2002 Good ol' 0.99. Before those pussies took away my precious Swastika from E1M4. 0 Share this post Link to post
IMJack Posted April 5, 2002 UDoom 1.9, Heretic demo, Doom2 1.9, Hexen demo, then I bought Heretic and Hexen at the same time (bundle, one CD) so I forget which I played first. 0 Share this post Link to post

Jayextee Posted April 5, 2002 First I played was the PSX version. It made me think that Doom was nothing special... until I played the PC version around a year later, and had better... EVERYTHING. Well, everything that matters, anyhow. 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted April 5, 2002 I first played the shareware episode when I was twelve. I was amazed/scarred for life. Until I bought Ultimate Doom a few years later, I played episode 1 on UV over and over, sometimes twice a day. 0 Share this post Link to post

nxn Posted April 5, 2002 I don't know which shareware version I played, but I know I played it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted April 5, 2002 yea i played 0.99 too, CD-ROM. it had many bugs. among them was my favorite. armor would rise past the 200 mark. also health would max out at 199. the swastika in E1M4, and a few other differences in levels. barons of hell seemed to be more agressive and packed more of a punch. the list goes on but my memory is blury so i cant remebr all that i found. oh also in install it made a doom.bat file, very nice, because at the time i did not know how to make batch files. also it installed way different. u had to type this "install D: c:" it was a strange version of doom but kind of nice 0 Share this post Link to post

All I've ever seen of PSX Doom was the screenshots on the back of the box, and I don't even remember those, unless one of them was a scene in the Waste Tunnels with some red lighting. 0 Share this post Link to post
elbryan42 Posted April 6, 2002 I played Doom 2 Map 02 on a Tandy computer at Radio Shack. I couldn't even figure out that what the door was in the first area. I was a dumbass. 0 Share this post Link to post

Hehe, that reminds me of when I gave Hexen to a friend. He spent like 3 hours trying to get out of the first scene in the game. He was trying to jump up onto that little castle-like ledge and punch through those stone bars to get to the key at the end of that tunnel (which you normally reach after ringing the bell in the belltower). He even broke the stained glass windows, but failed to realize that the wooden thing between them was a DOOR. 0 Share this post Link to post
