Probably the best game trailer (and Kickstarter video) *ever*

I’d forgotten what game adverts were like in the 90s. This is genuinely amazing.

The whole KS page is worth a read if you ever played a pirated FPS that required 5 floppy discs.

You survived the hell demons of DOOM, the pure evil of QUAKE and the insane Nazi regime of WOLFENSTEIN 3D. But nothing can prepare you for the depravity of deep space in STRAFE®.**

Fast Doom, Slow Doom

Doom II in 23:03. A wonderful dose of cacodemon nostalgia.

I played so much Doom II as a kid, I remember I had it split over 5 3.5″ floppies and the first computer I played it on churned it out at a painstaking handful of frames per second. The only way I could get it to play at normal speed was to reduce the window to the size of a matchbox. I still completed it though, multiple times. Though the rate it played at I would struggle to complete a pair of levels in 23 minutes.
