It was 10 years ago to this date that Doom was first introduced to the world in its shareware release(you all remember shareware, right?), making it 10 years old today, and one of the most played games ever.:) So here's a birthday toast to Doom, and to another 10 years of pissing off parents and the media world-wide.:D

I didn't have a PC 10 years ago, so I had to settle playing it on the original Sega 16-bit system. I thought the graphics were awesome back then... heh.

That was the only shareware game that I purchased the full version of. That was a BIG deal! :)

Doom, historically speaking, is the best FPS of all time.
