Games You (Probably) Should Have Played – D

The Console Wars are in full swing. To celebrate, I’m taking this time to go back and pick the best games of all the previous generations that I think You (Probably) Should Have Played, one letter at a time.

Check out all the other entries in the Games You (Probably) Should Have Played series if you haven’t already.

Doom (PC – 1993)
You like first person shooters? Doom practically invented and popularized the very idea of first person shooters. It also invented many things we gamers take for granted these days, like multiplayer death matches, and user created content, be it just new maps, or whole new games using the same game engine (i.e turning your gun into a proton pack and shooting ghosts instead of demons, thereby making you a Ghostbuster). It may have aged a bit, but it’s still fun as hell to blow up demons with a rocket launcher.
