DooM's birthday?

[ForteMP3]

Just when did DooM officially "go gold?" anyway? I know the year is 1993, but I was looking for a more exact date...A friend and I are planning a "birthday celebration" for DooM's 10th birthday, we figured we'd do a local lanparty with our buddies, and just do a bunch of DooM stuff, but for the sake of it, we'd like to know DooM's actual "Gone Gold" date.

Thanks in advance.

The Doom shareware was released December 10, 1993. That's considered the official birthday of Doom.
