I was there, Gandalf. I was there when they released it on the internet and you could play the first few levels multiplayer for free. Installed on the university computers..

That's nothing. Doom is an old game, even boomers realize it.

Now, realizing Pokemon is 26 years old, PlayStation 2 is 24 years old and old enough to be a retro console, stuff I considered to be the new hotness... now that makes me feel old.

Yea, Doom being that old kind of makes me feel better. Thinking about how old Playstation games are though... that makes me feel like time is spinning out of control.

I've been running Half Life for the first time recently. I'm only a quarter century late.

In my mind, videogames and music never feel older or younger than they are.
Last week a friend of mine was like "can you believe Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago" and my reaction was "Yes..."

Wow, I can't believe doom is so young! It's been a cultural juggernaut my entire life, so it's weird to think of Doom as "releasing."
