    The original Doom and Commander Keen. And no, not because of the nostalgia, but because they’re actually perfect the way they are.

      What about DOOM 2016? I thought it was great. I’ll admit, I didn’t play much of original DOOM, but 2016 feels like what I wanted DOOM to be if there was better graphics tech available.

        Not for me. Part of the perfection was that you walked through the 8bit world and see something blocky in front of you. Now, is it a monster or an item? Only two ways to find out, and one of them will kill ya.

        E: also, I got it loaded on my TI-83+, and played DOOM after maths exams.
