As you guys can probably tell, I <3 me some Doom, too! I have a special place for the SNES version, as it brings back a lot of memories for me. I remember renting it when I was younger, and being so creeped out by the boxart that I hid the game underneath the sofa when I wasn't playing it. True story!
I really started to apprecaite the game a few years ago, when I bought back my Super Nintendo, and started rebuilding my collection. I worked at a bakery, and would get off each day around 11 am or noon. I'd get home, spaced out from the early morning and lack of sleep, and usually play a game or two before I went to bed. I had quite a few days where I'd sit down with Doom, a six pack, and some cold, leftover pizza, and just go to town. I've never managed to finish the entire game in one sitting, but I'm planning on it!
Different strokes for different folks, for sure. I'm not offended by anyone that doesn't like the game, but playing it now is like a time capsule, taking me back to a bygone era. That's what retro gaming is all about, right?
