  12. Doom Alpha on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Doom Story? · · Score: 1

    I remember getting a copy of a DOOM Alpha.

    None of the monsters moved, you could jump and crouch (it crashed if you were walking crouched backwards up stairs). It had an option in the menu to hi-color support (which didn't work - crash). But we were in awe of what it looked like, compared to say Wolf3D.
