tthurman Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Saw this the other day elsewhere, and just happened upon it again. Hard to believe how long this game has been out.I recall many late nights playing it, and hardware reviews that would state things such as "survived several hours of "Doom testing" Okay, back to work!

hansolo77 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Strange, the review/interview says that people played Doom with mouse and keyboard, but I distinctly remember it only controllable with the arrow keys and control key. I believe Quake was the first mouse controlled FPS. Maybe I'm just ignorant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I played it with mouse and keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Maybe it was because we didn't have a mouse yet back then? Lol.. this is DOS days we're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 As i recall, mouse forward was move forward......and so on.I do remember it working with either keyboard or mouse, but I was a keyboarder on this one, as the mouse controls just felt unnatural to me.Up/Down viewing in Quake changed this for me drastically however!
