Doom changed my youth

| | Comments (1)

First let me start off by explaining Doom did not actually change my youth but it did give my older brother some amunition to scare me with. I was 3 years old when Doom came out so naturally I did not play the game and my parents did not even want me to watch my older brother play the game. Considering the fact my parents didnt want me around the game and my brother could play it naturally made me want to be around the game as much as possible. This however, was not the best idea.

After the first time I snuck into my computer room to watch my brother play it I had nightmares for a few days. I was not at all used to seeing anything like the game Doom and it made me scared. Once my brother found out I was scared because of Doom he decided to use that against me and scare me at night. As i continued to get older and realize the game was not at all scrary I became a big fan of Doom.

I began playing Doom and once I sat down to play I could not be torn away from the computer. Doom was the first game I played that involved first person shooting. I would have to say that because of Doom I have become a big fan of first person shooting games as I have gotten older.
