I remember playing Castle Wolfenstein 3D, but I really cut my teeth on the original DOOM. I would play for hours.

We would bring our PCs over to a friends house and play it networked. The room we played in didn't have any windows and we went through more than one all night sessions. I had to re-take a few college classes over it.

I went to a Catholic high school, and in my freshman year, I took an introductory class for computer. It was basically a class on how to use Windows 3.1 and Microsoft Works, with a little BASIC programming. Many of us took the class as an elective, since we already knew most of the material. Our teacher, a priest(!), had Doom on our computer network (an old Novell network). Once his lecturing was done, we'd scramble to the computers to play Doom. Some of us became quite addicted to it. We'd send dirty messages to each other over the game, and using the network software. We even had some of the Doom mods on some of the machines (Simpsons Doom anyone?)
