CHAPTER [1]: Introduction
-------------------------
*1-1*: A word from Hank Leukart
===============================
Happy DOOM Birthday!
It's not often that someone can ask me, "What were you doing at
this very moment, one year ago?" and I would be able to answer. Today,
December 10th, 1994, is one of those rare occasions in which I know
exactly.
Actually, I'm sure if I asked about half the readers of this
FAQ, they would be able to give me details about their activities too.
Most of us were sitting on Internet (or using every free moment to log
on) waiting for DOOM to be released. I remember staying up most of the
night, disappointed when it wasn't release by 8am EST. I waited,
waited, and waited, until finally everyone located it on "ftp.uwp.edu"
all at the same time. Wow! All the die-hard-DOOM-fans-to-be let out a
sigh of release as the suspense was lifted.
In retrospect, it has been an incredible experience. After 11
revisions and thousands of pieces of E-mail, I'm still alive and sane!
DOOM has taken up a large portion of my life (it's so addictive) and
now, here I am, one year, later.
I hope everyone enjoys this "Anniversary Edition" of the
"Official" DOOM FAQ v6.666. It contains DOOM I and DOOM II information,
the latest on DOOM ports, and all the coolest add-on utilities.
Now, I have a feeling it's going to all start over again with
Quake! Watch for the game in late 1995 from id. Although this may or
may not be last "Official" DOOM FAQ, it will definitely be awhile until
the next revision--this covers just about everything.
Above all, "Keep on--tD8 ill attac !" Above all,-rt
