    but Doom has for the most part always been a First Person SHooter in the pure sense

    I strongly disagree for "the most part". In the beginning, sure - kuz it was weird to get together with your computers (ok its still weird but accepted) but after people discovered net play, single player was an afterthought. Back in 95/96/97 myself and a bunch of other doom][ addicts regularly gamed (DM) against each other. MajorBBS had an addon called "Gamecon" that would allow us to have up to 4 player deathmatch over 14.4k+ modems (although the doom gods wouldn't participate in this kind of fragfest). Sure we had fun playing the single player mission in the beginning but as soon as there was a way for us to kill each other, the single player was only there for when nobody was around to play DM.

    Doom Legacy, has OpenGL, network & other kewl stuff
    ZDoom, a hybrid of Doom, Hexen and other weird things, also check out ZdoomGL
    PrBoom, very old school, the only port compatible with Compet-n demos.

    Tried that with DOOM I. Didn't work too good. (But if it does, marry her.)

    Good old BUNNY.MP3, the best end game music ever.
