When I'm not using my computer for serious stuff, net surfing, or playinggolf, I do love a good computer game.

My two favourite genres are the:

• stress relieving bloodbath shoot-em-up
• mindbending, satirical and darkly humourous adventure game

What more can be said about this game? It revolutionised games playing. Notonly was it (and still is) a mind blowing shoot up the baddies game, but itintroduced the concept of multiplay gaming across IPX networks. Almost every newgame marketed today now includes the facility to participate across a network(although today we use the internet more than IPX).

Doom also introduced the concept of an 'open architecture' game. Thisseparated the 'game play' programming from the 'core' programming. By making thegame play public, others could create new missions for your gun totin' marine.In effect, as long as people are still interested in Doom, there is a continuingsupply of new games, for free.

Whassat? You don't know what Doom is? Where have you been living? On anotherplanet perhaps?
