    I remember playing id's Castle Wolfenstein (the first one) on my old Commodore 64 (yes boys and girls, the C64 had a whoppihng 64K of memory). I really liked the game because it was sort of like the first open world type of game. The graphics are nothing like today, but playing that game I could tell things were changing. This happened a few years later when I play Wolfenstein in the early 90's. That game was the precursor to first person shooter genre. Then Doom came out. A guy from the mainframe lab I worked at gave me a copy of Doom and told me to be blown away. I had just purchased a 486DX66mhz(yes that's right mega, not giga) with 8MB of RAM. That also was the first game where you needed the Intel DX chip (a math co-processor) to run the game in full screen mode. I had tons of homework to do for class, but I ran the game and didn't get any of my work done that weekend. The graphics at the time were light years ahead of anything out there! Even better a few of us PC nerds at a small gaming company would to do LAN Doom tournaments. That was also the beginning of network gaming. We ran our on a Token Ring network which sometimes wouldn't work. We have some fun! Then you had the mods that anyone could develop, where you could download off BBS (kids, a BBS was kind of like a server you'd dial into. It wasn't like the internet, all you could get is what the sysop posted on the boards. You dialed into it via modem). So the replay ability was awesome! No freakin' DLC to be paid!
    I have the new Doom and I've been having so much fun playing the game. I can see some of the old game in this one and it's awesome to see the demons truly rendered in their unglory! The evolution of this game is amazing and like the video pointed out, the game revolutionize the industry.
    Time to go kill some demons!

    WOLFENSTINE & DOOM got in the way of my college years. Both games made me into a computer geek. I learned more about DOS commands & batch files than Western Civ & Philosophy. Back then we didn't have the Internet, instead we had local computer bulletin board systems to log onto with a phone modem. You had to be careful to find one that didn't run your phone bill up on long distance. I tried to explain some of this to my younger friends what it was like - most of them don't understand.

      If it wasn't a mess Norton Commander would never exist and as it really was a mess somebody wrote Norton Commander to make it all less messy, but in the future Windows versions hiding for example file extensions by default which made people just not know the basic things about how to operate on files, so these people can call DOS a real mess.

    Most of the facts you showed here I did not know. But I know a fact that neither you nor anyone else seems to know because I haven't seen this on a single DOOM trivia video yet. The Cacodemon was actually a crop and palette-change of the face of a monster found in the Dungeons and Dragons Manual of Monsters. I believe the monster was called the Devourer of Souls o something to that effect. All they did was Photoshop the head off of the body and change it from brown to red.
