Doom and Doom 2 (PC)

Over Quake 2?

Doom was genre defining and I spent way more hours on it than quake

That doesn't make it a better game, though.

Are we talking single or multiplayer? Because I just didn't get on with single player Quake at all. Doom 2 I can still quite happily play now.

When I first played OG Quake (PC GAMER cover CD demo I think) I was overwhelmed by the controls, as I was using purely keyboard control after coming from Doom. Using PageUp and PageDwn to tilt the gun angle was awful. And I managed to play Descent with purely keyboard controls.

I read a guide in the next issue that detailed how to activate and use MOUSELOOK and it changed my world. Strafing became a thing instantly! Rocket jumps! Shortcuts! Snap turns and twitch reactions! Incredible.

Haha, that was me too.

I was once described, by someone known as RawMeat, as "the best keyboard only QuakeWorld player in London, perhaps the country"

I transitioned to mouse shortly after and it took me months to get as good as I was before.

I've just went on a hunt for old PC Format Magazines and found out that their TOP 5 10 90s video games were:

Syndicate
Delta Force
Doom 2
Half Life
Total Annihilation
Dune 2
Warcraft 2
Monkey Island 2
Civilization
Dark Forces

Two of those haven't stood the test of time

SWOS
UFO: Enemy Unknown
Monkey Island 2
Cannon Fodder
Sid Meier's Colonization

Preferred Quake to Doom, but Unreal Tournament to Quake III Arena.

Blah blah Wednesday blah blah vote.

Also, fun recommend for Faux and Stallion, which was way funnier than I expected it to be.

This is a tough vote this week.

It isn't. One of us was chewing in your ear.

I have to be honest, that's swung my vote.

Not really putting much thought into it, but.

Championship Manager 92/93
Tekken 2
Super Mario World
Pilotwings
Secret of Monkey Island

90s games, natch, not snacks with beer.

Grim... · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2025 9:06

Tekken 2 over Tekken 3 is interesting. How come?

Joans · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 8666

Maybe a timing thing with being at university, but we played a lot of Tekken 2 and I just never got into 3 in the same way.

I was out hiking at the weekend and found myself repeatedly singing "if there's more than one, there's a best and a worst" so, er, I guess I'm a fan now?
