Uh, to my knowledge, there isn't any other shoot 'em up like Doom. The
next bext thing  is perhaps Virtua  Fighter, but they haven't  made an
Intel port yet :-)

"Just another  shoot' em  up" is the   understatement of the  century,
don't you think?

Please note: I'm not criticizing your lack of interest in shoot 'em up
games. Just because 100,000 registered Doomers and 1 zillion shareware
Doomers happen  to  like shoot 'em ups,   you're entitled to  your own
opinion.

However, classifying Doom as "just another shoot 'em up" is pushing it
to far. Do you  think that Windows   NT is "just another PC  graphical
program"?  Unix is "just  another variant of   CP/M"? IBM (insert your
favorite computer  company  here  :-)  )  is "just  another   computer
company"?  Microsoft is "just another software   house"? Bill Gates is
"just another billionaire"?

I'm not exactly on   my knees and praying to   the Id Gods   for their
Ultimate   Game, just  acknowledging  the  BEST   shoot  'em  up  ever
created... until Quake is released, of course. :-)

Have fun  with  your  serious  games.  Hope  that all   that  thinking
seriously  stimulates  your brain  activity.  As  mine is  almost zero
anyway, I'll keep playing Doom,
