Most of those classic shooters had shareware versions, up until the time of engines with hardware-accelerated graphics, it seems.

doom was a cultural phenomenon

i remember when it was shareware and before 'can it run crysis' it was 'can it (1) store the Doom file size and (2) can it run Doom'

there was nothing like it then and theres nothing like it now

the graphics are a legit feature and part of the appeal

edit: cant remember if it was doom or wolf3d that was shareware anyhoo other points stand
Click to expand...

I legit had a computer with just 640k memory and Doom required 2 megs. I had collected a bunch of pages from computer magazines and just looked at the screenshots and reviews for a couple of years before getting a PC that could run it...

Edit: 4 mb apparently, not sure why I rememebered 2.
