Shacknews editors gather 'round to wax nostalgic and bloody about our earliest, and/or fondest memories of id Software's Doom franchise. Shacknews started as Quakeholio, a Quake fansite (obviously). That means our roots in FPS games go deep, far deeper than one shooter from id Software. Doom is Quake's antecedent, so, naturally, we hold that franchise near and dear to our hearts as well. This week, we reflect on our earliest memory of Doom, or our fondest. What's yours? Let us know in the Chatty thread below. What is your earliest,
