Doom...

Oh my... and I thought Wolf 3d was cool. My time in Okinawa was the beginning of my computer training both at home and work. We have a few well trained tech's on staff and they taught me about my own PC as well as all the new options that were coming available.
First upgrade was a sound card, a sound blaster, and hooked up to my stereo in the barracks gave a whole new meaning to playing Doom.
Doom was the most violent, bloody thing out there and it was awesome. Fighting aliens with a variety of weapons, and a Chainsaw. The music was leaps beyond any game I had played so far.
Two other games occupied my time in Okinawa, a real time strategy game called Space Hulk, one of the first PC games in the Warhammer 40,000 universe (which is going strong today), and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe - a Truly enjoyable WWII flying sim. Now the question was which of the 3 RTS, Flight sim or FPS would dominate my available time? In 1997 I moved back to the states for recruiting duty in Cleveland, in case you don't remember, 97/98 in video games was like 1980 for heavy metal.........that's when British Steel and Back in Black came out. If you don't understand that well, guess you had to have been there.
