- No. Absolutely not. Impossible. Can`t be done. Do I have to

- Then you are in the vast minority. I don`t think there has been
- any game to rival Doom on any computer in terms of gameplay.
- The thing was, they didn`t have to rush Doom out in time for

- they took their time and perfected the gameplay, rather than
- shoving out an initially pretty but ultimately septic dribble
- of a game.
