Nope. I doubt it will ever. :(

Very first time for me was on a floor demo Windows 3.1/Dos 6.22 at a store=
in 94

Second time was in 1996 on a Macintosh Performa 460 that was woefully under= powered
for the game, but I managed a few FPS out of it, and I was insanely hooked. Despite the slideshow and stuttery sound, I really did feel like I was
peering into another world.

More necroposting for fun and profit!

But in case you missed it, yesterday was the anniversary of the
original Doom's release, 32 years ago. It seems like... well, not
yesterday, but it doesn't seem like three decades.

I think Younger Me would have been very surprised not only to hear
that Doom survived as a franchise for all these years, but that people
still enjoy playing the original game. There was such tremendous
overturn in game design and technology back then; in 1993, games only
a few years old felt positively archaic compared to the new stuff. Why
would you want to play something like "Space Station Oblivion" (a first-person game released by Epyx in 1988) now that you had "Doom"?
So the idea that we'd still have interest in a game from 1993 in the
far-off year of 2025 would have felt like an impossibility.

And yet here we are. True, one of the major reasons the original
"Doom" remains so popular is thanks to the source-ports and continued development of user-made mods (not to mention the fact the original
game was just that damned good!) but we're still playing.

In fact, maybe I'll fire up the game right now to boomstick some imps.
Maybe you should too.

(Belated) happy birthday, Doom!

/me respawns after missing his daily usenet yesterday. :P
