I was still at University when Doom came out. I did play it multiplayer when
I did work experience - but that was against the boss of the business so no
sneaking was required.

Yeah, like we're supposed to believe you never snuck a DOOM install
onto the company network and played it at work...

Doom stands out to me as a game that changed the computer hardware
industry.
Prior it being released, network cards were expensive and generally only
used for offices, universities etc. When Doom came out though, the appeal
of
being able to network multiple computers together to play with/against
each
other led to a lot of people buying network cards for home use. Increased
demand led to increased supply and the cost of networks cards dropping
significantly. Eventually network adaptors came standard on any PC
motherboard.
