(13/14)
There you go, dragged backwards by your elbows over the cold ground, straight to your doom here at the heart of hell, destined to be fodder for those rapacious pups. But the gunshot punctured more than just your left kidney. It serves as a wake-up call. Here, outside, the stupor starts to dissipate from your eyes, and you begin to see the world around you for what it is. You stare down your trailing legs: one battle-worn, one a simple wooden stick to replace the leg you've lost to a mine. The shoe still dangles behind it, the tied laces stuck on some protruding splinter. Your blooded gut is wrapped in a black-and-white striped shirt similar to that of all these other detainees, some of whom you seem to recognize now. The monsters that exercise their tyranny here grow faces to match their animus uniformity. While you are hauled into a building of which the thick, iron door closes behind you, you come to terms with where you are and who you are up against. You remember everything. No doubt you will be made an example of, but you still have plenty of fight in you. A fight that you are willing to share with your captors...

I will add the winner on Steam to send him or her this gift.
No question about it, this game is still a shining example of the genre. Better yet, despite the evolutionary leaps in the industry, it still holds up amazingly well! If that isn't a testament to its greatness, I don't know what is...
How old were you when you first played Doom?
I was seven. Back then, my mother had a friend who owned a computer store, and at one point he called me in to show me this new game he had in store, called Doom. I can't remember much of it, I only remember that I kept scrolling the mouse off the mouse pad to try and look around, much to the agitation of that guy. Mostly because I had never played a game like that before. Also, I was SEVEN!
Thx

Probably like 15 or 16. I remember one of the kids in the neighborhood had it when I was 5 or 6 but he would only let me watch him play.

First Doom I played, I was probably around 15 or 16.
It was my first multiplayer game and it blew my mind that I could play with someone without them being physically there... OVER PHONE LINES.

May the werewolves protect you.
I think I was about 11 or so. Very cool game in its time. The guys from id software were my heros.

The only Doom I've played was Doom 3, the same year it came out. I was 13 back then.

I think I played Doom for the first time when I was about 12-14 years old, that is when my family has bought the first PC we had. I did play more of Doom 2 then Doom 1, though both were great (Doom 2 had a double-barrell shotgun!).

I guess i played it around 7 i am not sure but didn't play a lot. I was a Mortal Kombat fan around that age. :p

The first time I played Doom, I was 14 years old. The shareware version had been ported to Flash. It certainly didn't have as big of an impact on me, due to the game having been 15 years old already by the time I got to try it out.
Doom is just a little less than a year older than I am.

I was 15 and played it in high school

12 but it was Doom II - it was in 1995. I'm entering the giveway because it's Doom even if I already own a retail version of it and the BFG edition. Doom fan forever!

um... maybe 14? My uncle and I set up an IPX network from one end of the house to the other, I had to crawl under the floorboards for 50m to lay the cable. We spent the next 3 weeks trying to work out how to configure the IPX and NE2000 protocols to run the network in 6.22 then just as we got it going sweet, Microsoft bought out 3.11 which made it so easy.
We then spent the next school holidays playing Doom, Doom II, RoTT and C&C for hours on end.

Thank you! I have no idea if I played it when it first came out or not, so I don't know how old I was when I first played it. I think I only had the first set of levels on a shareware cd.

Thanks. :D

15ish? I played Doom 2 for months, in the dark with headphones cranked.
Stepped on the wrong piece of floor, the wall in front opened and Barons of Hell were RIGHT IN MY FACE. Last time I remember a video game making me physically jump out of my seat in terror.
