Remember this ol' doom screen?

[Stan]

Been quite some time since I last seen this. Ahhh the memories XD

[Catastrophe]

It's funny how people these days complain about how games are $40, heh.

[Metal]

I remember this, and I remember the spider mastermind on the installation of the dos/demo version, I think it was. Good times.

[Disguise]

Ahhh... yes this shot... good ol' memories.

It's funny how people these days complain about how games are $40, heh.

Nah, people complain about 60$ games (50% difference) and how their DLCs can add up to 150$ in some cases.

[Ænima]

The last time I saw that screen, I think I was 11. And I'm 20 now.

[Cruduxy]

Last time was probably 6 or 7.. heh I can still see it now too if I feel like it :P

[Watermelon]

$40.00 back then

PLUS that's not inflated like today's currency is

[HexaDoken]

A goddamn while since I've last seen this one, must say. Thank you for boosting my nostalgia meter.

[Ivan]

That thing fucked my screen up but it's good to look at regardless.

Try 70$ games.

I remember playing this version first, I did not know it was shareware until then.

[Eonfge]

From the days that I didn't actually own a full copy of doom. A distant memory.

[blackmario]

Still remember the first site that I downloaded doom when +-10 years old
Too bad that german/russain version isn´t more there =/
(and it´s strange how I went to that site by google, I´m not even near from europe lol)

[Bloax]

Not much has changed price-wise.

[IdeIdoom]

Ah, The good old memories, when I was playing the shareware at the age of 3...

[Ænima]

Not much has changed price-wise.

What has changed though, is that spending that money on Doom was a worthwhile investment that would provide you with entertainment for the next 20+ years. And you only had to spend that money once (okay twice ... once again for Doom2 ;p).


Spending that money on the new COD game, however, would only provide you with entertainment for like 5 hours (for the campaign) and maybe like 60 hours (or however long it takes you to realize that multiplayer sucks dick). And you'd be spending 60$ again and again every time they come out with a new COD game. Which is like, every 6 months.
