    I still enjoy a round of Doom from time to time although the looks
    of games have changed that one is still fun to play. I wouldn't
    show that to anyone new though.. along with UT99.. great fun.. :)

    For all its appalling resolution, DOOM had the best monsters :) I managed to borrow a free standing "work" PC for a 4 way lan part with the guys I was working with back then. Was indeed good times. Not sure why, but UT in any version has never appealed for some reason.

    This was back in the OS8/9 days, when the state of MacOS was a
    dumpster fire of bugginess.

    I don't recall the OS being that buggy, but I never actually owned one so I only got everything second hand through the evangelist. :) At about OS9 I don't think the Wintel empire was doing any better though.
