DOOM was one of the first 3D games I played and the first I played with a Soundblaster (a GPU like card you'd buy to hear sounds other than beeps and boops). I've never been so amazed at a game since. I literally had my jaw open for minutes. After fiddling with a set of drivers that allow me to have enough RAM to boot it of course. I was just learning how to draw pixels on screen with BASIC and could somehow extrapolate that if I get good enough I could maybe do a game that resembles a 2D game but when I saw DOOM I realized how little I know. There's no way I could to this day write a 3D engine which makes me a bit sad but at least I understand most of the math behind it after working in games.
