I know there are already a couple of threads going about Doom, but I have to mention it as it deserves attention here as well. The first time I played it was on the Super Nintendo when I was too young to even think about owning a PC. The graphics were crap compared to versions I would see later, but I instantly fell in love with the style of gameplay (I'd never seen a FPS before). On that platform there was no way to save your progress, the only way to complete the game was to leave it on and keep playing, so one night after Christmas I locked myself in my room with some junk food and stayed up until dawn beating each chapter. It was great.

Hehe, that sounds like fun XD I remember when I first seen an article about Doom for the Atari Jaguar. And when I seen it was also for the SNES, I was like "OMGWTFBBQ!!" I agree it's not the same as on the PC, but it opened the doors to FPS gaming for me. Since then I've been a fan of the genre, and always look forward to upcoming awesome FPS titles.

 

Speaking of staying up late, I remember when I first stayed up past 3 am playing video games. I was 8 or 9 and I had rented the game Super Adventure Island - I was fond of the games that were on the NES, and this game was pretty good. I forgot about time that night, but I'll always have good memories ^^
