The dogs woke us up at 4:30am and on the science channel is a show called The Rise of the Video Game...Ive been up watching it and its now 7am and just keeps getting better.  They just wrapped up Sam jacksons voice over in Grand Theft Auto and now looking at doom and wolfenstein regarding the birth of first person shooters :D  Oooh all te memories coming to life on tv.

by the way...i bought doom shareware for $3.95 from a local software shop when it first came out...then in order to play it better I spent $380 for a 4mb memorystick, $280 for a 486dx 100mhz overclock chip *to replace the stock 486sx 25mhz*, then another $250 for a Sound Blaster 16 with ASP processor to stimulate 3D surround sound from only 2 speakers.  Seems kinda rediculous now LOL

If you can find it, WATCH IT!  :D  Its very fun.   Now its 7am and the wife has fallen asleep.

Doom was awesome, though our first PC was a Pentium so it had no trouble running it.
Got the shareware from this CD (yeah wee had a 6x CD-ROM as well back then) with lots of random games.

Guessing this only shows on US TV >_>

* Kaiser remembers paying 300 bucks for a voodoo graphics card for playing quake when it came out

do anyone remember how you could only buy them in Electronics Boutique, and when you picked up a box to go to the cashier everyone would stop and snare at you xD

by the way, Wolfesteid 3D for the win
