I don't read game magazines regulary, but I picked one up in late november 
(when the doom hype was at its top) and there it was. DOOM - the best action
game of 93 (!), even before it had been released. It was the leading swedish
gamesmagazine, "Attack", which is covering all "homecomputers" and their games.
I think it was kind of fun, that the DOOM hype was so great that it was
selected THE best action game of 93, when the editor had only seen a beta 
release :-)

And of course I agree, it was the best game of 93, and maybe even 94? ;-)
