Well, until the FPS term was coined every game in the genre was known as a Doom clone I have heard. It just was the game that made the style popular. Otherwise we could have Hovertank 3d clone, or even further the Maze War clone.

Unreal did also have a large number of enemies, don't know how it compared to Heretic. I guess you have to eliminate a few if you don't count the Nali Rabbit because it doesn't attack you. Still, it mocks you with its chirping and bleeds all over your shoes when you step on it, making it maybe the worst enemy in my book!

It seems as time goes on I will have even less. Next month other things are starting up that will make time even tighter. I have said the same thing, I am reading D&D and not even enjoying the actual game! I am trying to become an expert without touching a single dice :p. It seems I am doing all the work without any play! Eh, I would rather be doing things like Quake or Unreal, just don't have that type of time and thus have to read. The difference is that you feel less upset to leave something you don't care too much about in comparison to something you absolutely love. If I ever get a ton of time I can start doing some other things. For right now, I am plugging through D&D (for old RPGs!) and then Lovecraft (for Quake!). Almost at the point I want to be with D&D actually, just have to make it to the end of 1979 (where I will take a quick break before going back to it). It's already April (The Dragon 24). Also starting to find a lot less luck for finding stuff from this year. Almost anything by Judges Guild had to be skipped over since the start of this year. Eh, guess I am looking at a lot as it is.

I do a lot that raises a lot of eyebrows. I am kinda the type that loves to have fun when I can and will do what I want to do (within the law of course). Not many people understand my love of Rammstein when I rock out to them. Almost every day before going to work I am listening to "Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?".

As for internet problems, not sure. It is kinda up to where I am living in the coming times. I am not sure if I am staying, returning, or going somewhere else. It would be nice to stay because I just got here, but as you see some things were better quality where I was (I would also have a lot more time now based on how things are set up, I had planned to get more active in the summer but then came here in hopes of certain things). I guess it is up to fate to decide where the cards will lie.

Eh, I have tried playing Quake 1 and Unreal at once. Very confusing, you lose your sense of control in one or the other. Unreal's right click is a secondary fire, while Quake doesn't have it and thus is set to the usual FPS jump. Console commands are the worst!

I never finished Final Doom. Did TNT and enjoyed it (I loved the truck for some reason, was just amazing what they could do with brushes). Plutonia didn't seem too vicious, then again I was a hardened veteran at that time prepared for the worst by hearsay. I stopped at level 29 or so, wherever there was a sewer. I think I have said it before, I cannot stand sprite based sewers for some inexplicable reason.

Back to TD24, as I hope to reach the next decade before September!
