I'd vote for doom but the vote button doesn't let me.

You may have to register, though I didn't think they had extended the new voting rules beyond DII/Zelda and Half-Life/Halo.

Any other matchup for the final besides SMB3-Halflife would be a travesty.

Mario games are too boring to cast a vote for it...

For the love of God! How can some stupid bloody console carting game beat a colossus like Doom? Whatever happened to taste?

You're calling me the infidel?! DOOM is one of the classic games of the PC, and a seminal one. This started the FPS as we know it, was a fantastic game that wowed everyone.

And remind me, what did Mario 3 do again?

Picked flowers and ate mushrooms, apparently.

... and turn into a flying raccoon. That was exciting.

Yeehaw, Doom is going into the lead as I vote for it. Doom, there's no game I have had installed and played for a longer period of time! I still go down for 20-minute sessions sometimes.

Mario, what a grossly overrated game. I've always hated those console-style games where one stupid animated character goes around collecting stuff, and if he dies, you get reset to the last checkpoint - at best.

Doom is an over-rated piece of trash. Super Mario Brothers 3 is a child-hood treasure. Which should I vote for?

Just what can you like about Mario? I played it for a while and felt like it's better than any sleep pill...

Did he turn into a flying raccoon after eating the mushrooms, by any chance?

No, I think you had to collect a leaf or something to turn into a raccoon.

The imagination, mostly.


What could you possibly like about doom?

The tension. The shock of suddenly coming under attack, and the thrill of getting the situation back under control and blowing you attacker away. The thrill of the hunt -- as both hunter and hunted. The pressure you come under as you realize you're down to your last rounds, and you can't find reloads, let alone the exit. The wonder of discovery, first with the original maps, then with fan-made maps with new settings, graphics, and sounds.

Basically, the same things that made First Person Shooters what they are today.

I love Mario. My Mum loves Mario.

But nothing could beat the pure panic when an invisible demon starts ripping your face off.

I'd go for Mario. If I could be bother registering to vote.

I never ran out of ammo in Doom, even on the hardest setting. Whereas losing the Tanooki suit was pain itself.

You mean next-to-hardest setting, right?

The auto-respawn on Nightmare was a bit much, IMO.

You might be right, although since the computer I played it on is probably in some landfill, I'll never know.

Not sure but the nightmare setting may not have been in the original doom... it was in doom 2 and probably in ultimate doom. I figured it would be impossible to play it through with that setting...

Nope, it was definitely there in the original doom...

Yeah, seconding PH, it was there. Not much fun though at any rate, IMO - Ultra-Violence was fun, while monster respawning just ruined the feeling for me.

Godmode vs. Nightmare was an occasional diversion for me...
