Horse hockey!

Of course I have a certain fond feeling for the stair-well-activated secret
doors in level 3; that "Hey, what was that sound?" that led to the Search
that led to the "Aaaah! Tricky bastards!"

But the true winner is level 7.  Such majestic fire ranges!  Sneaking up to
each window to blast away at the startled beasts viewing from another window.
Being surprised at each turn: "Where the HELL did that shot come from?!?"
The secret rooms disgorging monsters behind you so that you don't get that
comfy sanitized feeling about places you've been.  Goodie-laden locations
in plain view, but inaccessible until that "Aaaah! Very tricky bastards!"

In short, I loved every minute of it!  Those nice Id chappies (actually
their Australian distributors) will shortly be in possession of my cash in
return for the 3 Episode version.  Better than spending money on food.
Mortgage your relatives if you have to, but be sure you buy DOOM.

By the way, even the best game music gets to me pretty soon.  I always
have to turn it off quickly before permanent brain damage occurs.  Sort of
like top-40 chart-buster commercial crap music ...
