Doom2, I think I have some 5 storebought CD's of levels for that one 
alone.  I did find some great faves.  All but forgotten now.  I started 
playing Doom shareware on a 386DX40 with 128 megs of ram and a legacy 
vid card.  That quickly got upgraded to something I could play it with 
:)  486DX4-100 was the best pre-Pentium rig I had.  256 megs SDram, VESA 
local bus and a couple different VLB cards like a Diamond Stealth 128 
and a Hercules Dynamite Pro VL.  Those were the days where you knew what 
to do with DOS to get all the conventional ram free you could or you 
didn't play many games :)  I thought the original Wing Commander was 
sooooo cool.  Then there was Wolfenstein 3D, and then along came Doom :) 
Wow.
Well, seeing as most folks think that ROE is better than Doom3, I'd 
better pick that up this weekend :)
McG.
