I played the original back in the '90s, and I enjoyed it, but it didn't give me a groundbreaking feeling. I think that feeling came with Half Life and the integration of proper story into the FPS formula.
Ahh I could totally see that. I also played Half Life much later, first time was probably about 6 or 7 years ago? It was a wildly good game, and I still kinda kick myself for playing Half Life 2 (which I did play when they were releasing) but never thought to myself during that time, “hey, maybe I should play the original?” Paha
I have fond memories playing the OG Doom back in the 90s. I played it again a couple years ago, and yes, some clunk existed compared to modern gaming experiences, but I still enjoyed reliving my glory days in it.
