I just began playing Doom II again. I was surprised how much my brain hurt trying revert itself way back in time to decipher the pixely spritey mess of Doom's "graphics"...then my brain started to slowly adjust and things became a little more clear. Still a graphical mess but charming in it's simplicity and still damn challenging unlike most "We demand to hold your hand from start to finish" games of today. If you havent played these then you owe it to yourself to do so. Fun stuff.
