Was Doom the one where you could blow up a urinal? I seem to recall Doom or Duke Nukem let you do that. |

Eventually a C64 and a Westbridge 1200 baud running a BBS. EarlyPC days started with a generic 1200 baud Hayes Clone, someone will remember the ad, "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck it must be a duck...". After that it was USRobotics from 2400 baud up to 33.6 never made it to 56k before I got DSL. DL'd doom at 2400 baud, waited in the FTP queue for Quake at 14.4, those were fun days. Traded a lot of MST3K cd img files at 14.4, sometimes took days I loved every minute of it. Do I want to go back? NO! I adore the speed of my Cable Modem, but I will say, I was much pickier in what I DL'd in the past as in "was it worth the time and the dial up?". Now I just seem to collect crap that I don't really want or need and have to delete it every month. Death match DOOM was the Best though! Regards, Scam |
