Doom Gameplay

I never really played doom as a kid.  (Sorry, it was before my time, oldies.)  I'd heard of it and understood the premises but never actually played it until class.  I thought it was quite fun actually.  I realize that at the time it was a very serious and competitive game, but playing it today it was almost funny. 

What I mean is that Doom was created as a serious game, but people didn't take it into real life.  They didn't confuse the graphics and game play with aspects of real life (most of the time?) and those that blamed real life violence with games such as this weren't the ones who played it. It may be because of the technology, but most people wouldn't confuse a game like this with reality.

 I think Doom was a great game and as an FPS pioneer, a lot of modern games are still loyal to a lot of the aspects of Doom, and I think that's pretty cool, especially since most of the qualities of Doom really worked. I think its important that game creators realize what worked and what didn't work, and I feel that a lot of them have done a pretty good job, albeit there are a lot of games that are extremely similar. (medal of honor, call of duty, modern warfare etc).
