Reflections on DOOM – Old and New

HPP:

I’ve always been attached to gaming. My earliest memories were playing my cousins’ NES on holidays and getting a Super Nintendo for Christmas when I was in kindergarten. Just before the boom of home PCs, my parents purchased us a family computer. My guess is it was for the purpose of adult things like balancing their checkbooks and word processing? Who knows. The point is if it had a video screen I was going to find a way to play a game on it. I played anything available to me. The first few PC games I remember playing were Lemmings and SkiFree. Scroll forward a few years to ’96 or ’97.
