I had just gotten into ZDaemon for multiplayer Doom. Before that I was just using Chocolate Doom to play the original levels in a close-to-original manner, and before *that* I was playing an old shareware version on some compilation CD on an old computer. A friend of mine told me that if I wanted to play him online, I would *have* to use Zandronum because that's all he uses. So I got it.

For a while I was pretty much just like "meh, this is pretty cool" because I was perfectly happy with zctf on ZDaemon, but then that same friend of mine showed me Who Dun It.

The rest is history, cept he also showed me Zombie Horde. They're now what I mainly play.

I can't say "I never looked back", because I still play zctf now and then and I usually have better luck finding good old deathmatch on ZDaemon, but I'm hooked on Zandronum now.

When I was 11, I didn't like that my Dad or older brother never had the time to play a network game of Doom or Doom 2 with me. So one day I wondered if there was any way to play online with other people, and a google search led me to Skulltag back in 2005.

At that time, I didn't know mods for the game existed. Skulltag and the many WADs I played blew my mind.

Here I am now.

I got recommended Skulltag by a friend a year when I finally got fed up with Doom95 enough to complain on the Internet. Short and sweet.

I was looking for something old school, since I played/enjoyed Heretic A LOT. Then I looked for some more old school FPS and found Doom. I liked the game itself and thought; is there a multiplayer version of this? Googled "Doom Online". Stumbled upon "Zandronum" on page 2. :)

Several years ago, I tried to play a lan game of doom (probably an old version of zdoom) with my brother but I couldn't get it to work. I googled "doom online", found zdaemon, tried that for a bit and didn't like it much, someone there mentioned skulltag and how it was more "crazy" or something like that, tried it out and was hooked.

In a few words, i grew up with doom, i wanted to play it again after 8-ish years, and found out about zdoom. Went on with that, then found out about multiplayer. While looking on how to do that, i found out about skulltag. Its pretty much just a chain reaction pf *wanting to play doom, but better*. I think some wads i used to download needed skulltag too.

I first found few the other non ZDoom ports (Risen3D , JDoom ) on one summer holidays.. But then I found Zdoom, Gzdoom and Skulltag97C (or B) on the last week of summer holidays. At that time I didn't knew that Skulltag was technologicaly behind to Zdoom.

Few years later, Skulltag died.
And I found Zandronum thanks to Realm667.

About 50 years ago, back than I even knew what Skulltag is, I was an ancient warrior sent by the UAC to wipe out every hellspawns left on Tei Tenga, but than it happen. I stumbled upon what it happen to be the gates of hell, I took a peek from it right until the evil force coming from the moaning of 2 million Cyberdemons sucked me in, and that my friends is how I discovered Skulltag.


Actually the real reason is more likely like this.

First port I played was ZDaemon, at around Jan 2009 mostly CTF in south american servers under the name "Shapeless", since I used Doom connector I also got to try out ST and been here on and off ever since ^ ^
You're such a liar, you were playing All Out War under the name British Rifle Man in 2008
I was britishrifleman alright but that was in early 2009, nice of you to remember anyway :biggrin:
