I sorta agree with you....new WADs are fun, but E1 is really good. Romero did
these levels, with the exceotion of E1M8, I think. E2 and E3 were done by Sandy
Petersen (I think). You are right though. E1 was muxh more fun to me. Doom 2 is
cool, but gets way to easy after you have all the weapons. The first 10 or so
levels are hard, but then its smooth sailing.
BTW: whats ST:TOS?

this nmakes me wonder....did id read the story The Most Dangerous Game
before making DM idea up? In The Most Dangerous Game (a short story) a
man is trapped on a hunting island...except humans are trapped there and
hunted. I've always liked this idea of hunting people (Doom people, that
is <G>).
