I just grabbed the shareware version of doom and played it for the first time today. I was VERY disturbed to see this huge swastika in one of the rooms. It bothers me 'cause it makes me think the creators of the game have some sort of agenda. That's really nasty and dangerous symbolism, don't you guys think. I'm not sure how well I can describe where this is at, but here goes: It is in the second "level". You go into a room, and if you walk around long enough, the walls sink into the ground in the shape of a gigantic swastika. Looking at the map (tab key) makes it really apparent. I shouldn't have to explain what is BAD about this symbol. It is not fictional. It is part of history that is scary. So, someone tell me. Is this convenient scenery or something more? I would be relieved if it was just convenient scenery, but I still don't thing it deserves the pixels. I enjoyed the game, so this was a real bummer. Rich
