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

Null modem cable? Meh.
ATX1D for life.

Yeah, started with a VIC20 and VIC Modem at 300 baud for Compuserve via telnet. 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!

IIRC Duke Nukem 3D, second level (Red Light District), was where the urinal gag first appeared in the franchise -- "Ah, much better!" :lol
The original two games were fun, but Duke Nukem 3D was definitey a huge leap forward.
