Although, being the only FPS'er I knew, I didn't jump on the mouselook boat until after playing Quake 2, and I played some guys on a LAN... I held my own pretty well considering I was using keyboard only, but after I grabbed a mouse, it was like my game stepped up about 5 levels

After playing that, Doom was a big disappointment. I kept trying to look up and down, aim at things, etc. and didn't realize you couldn't do those things in Doom. LOL I got Hexen when it first came out, and it was so confusing to me at the time that I just gave up on it. I finally finished it about a year or two ago. ROTT was probably an acquired taste. It got more interesting after you got further into it. Blood and Duke 3D are still the most fun games I've ever played. I can't think of a newer FPS that can make you laugh so much.

Heh! I can just picture John Carmack coding for those Commander Keen games :) They were fun little games. Got my very first joystick ever to play them. Mouse would have been better! McG.

I understand the "feel" thing. Quake 2 does have it for me for sure, especially in multi. Q3 has it, but not as good as Q2, IMHO. If ya ever want to go for a test spin Duck, I'll loan ya my copy. There were no cd keys back then so one copy can work on any server.
