 I sorta agree with you....new WADs are fun, but E1 is really good. Romero did 
these levels, with the exceotion of E1M8, I think. E2 and E3 were done by Sandy 
Petersen (I think). You are right though. E1 was muxh more fun to me. Doom 2 is 
cool, but gets way to easy after you have all the weapons. The first 10 or so  
levels are hard, but then its smooth sailing. 
    BTW: whats ST:TOS?

    this nmakes me wonder....did id read the story The Most Dangerous Game 
before making DM idea up? In The Most Dangerous Game (a short story) a 
man is trapped on a hunting island...except humans are trapped there and  
hunted. I've always liked this idea of hunting people (Doom people, that 
is <G>).
