Re: I'll have my 90s shooter list for you soon. But yes, Doom was #1. by Ice Cream Jonsey 12/18/2018, 1:25pm PST
1. Doom
2. Duke Nukem 3D
3. Blood
4. Half-Life
5. Rise of the Triad
6. Shadow Warrior
7. Descent
8. Wolfenstein 3D
9. Unreal
10. Dark Forces
11. Quake III: Arena
12. Quake
13. Quake II
14. ZPC
15. Sin
16. Strife
17. Redneck Rampage
18. Shogo
19. Hexen
20. Heretic
21. TekWar

In terms of fun I had, Duke Nukem 3D is probably first because a bunch of us bulletin board players got together constantly to play it. But in terms of single player, I think Doom is better than Duke. Duke has the single best "episode" (or whatever the term is for series of levels. It's episode, right?) But man, some of the alien spaceship stuff is a slog. I think the Jailbreak mod for Quake II was better than Counter-strike. A few 90s shooters I've never played, like Tribes and Goldeneye.
