Memories Of Doom, By John Romero & John Carmack

It was incredible to play one of Tom Hall's new maps for the first time and not know what was around the corner or lurking in the darkness, because these sounds were new—the doors opening, the buttons and platforms, and the terrifying howls of wandering demons. They were new sounds in the world's most advanced game environment and it gave me chills to experience playing Doom the way everyone else later saw it, during this brief window of time when it was being born.

I still remember mowing the yard while it was raining so I could get the allowance to go buy Doom.... And my first experience with lan parties!
