I totally agree!  I remember playing DOOM with my 486-33 and little speakers
in the dark.  I had an adapter so I could play it on my television with
sound through the stereo.  It was scary as hell in the middle of the night.
Now my sons are enjoying the awesome graphics and sounds of almost 15 years
of advancement in computers and software.  They still enjoy the original
DOOM but think it's cheesy.  I do like the DOOM classic add-on levels.
