SS was an old Origin dos game.

hehe

outstanding analog holiday :)

only one day that was partly clouded and air temps 25-28'ish and 22-25 in the water.

Some good sailing (when baby and wive went ashore) and sunbathing. I now look like a blonde Will Smith, only good looking :D

If it doesn't have a lot of colors, a distinct CyberDemon "RAWWWR", co-op mode, and groups of 20-30 enemies at a time, then it isn't DooM.

ID's single player games went downhill fast starting with Quake.  Too dark and dreary and repetative.

Is there an official patch? AFAIK, there is the no-CD "patch" but nothing else.

This thread should get you started with win 2000 although a few related threads show people having problems, I've played it on win 2k but was some time ago.

Certainly worth the effort I think, excellent game.

Isn't Deus Ex the errm follow up to System Shock?  (don't mean Deus Ex 2)  Have SS2 but never did play it.

Can't really see the need for a map in Doom 3, sure it would have been nice for the sprints when exposed to the atmosphere but other than that, the game pretty much herds you the right way.

For the 69.99(cdn) I paid for Doom 3 it came with Deus Ex2, and a pewter figurine!  I didn't realize it did when I bought it, I was just hoping for the DX2:IW for free.
Heh I don't regret spending the money one bit.  I love the game.  

Quake 3 was a big dissappointment for me, with players running a billion miles an hour and no single player at all..
Unreal 2.. ick, played it for about an hr before I grew tired of it, just abit too fantastical...   I have very little interest for these tournament style games with absolutely no ties to reality.
COD, MOH those appeal to me based on their at least somewhat realistic aspects.

DX2 could have been much better(damn PC port from an xbox game... dx1 had mirrors.. not seen one in dx2), its too dark, but in a different way relative to Doom 3, at least D3 has an effective flashlight..  Dx2 is interesting as its not as linear as D3, hell next to D3 DX2 is wide open and requires some thought and planning...

I am taking my time with D3 and enjoying it, hopefully won't be long to wait for HL2..
