Part one: What is the best game to come out of the 80s?
This is the second part of the series. This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other decades and consoles will come in sporadic subsequent threads.
Expanding on your choice is definitely a plus.
Doom. The answer is Doom. Why? Because it sold more copies than Windows.
That isn't enough? None of these games listed had spawned an entire genre named after them 'Doom-clones' before consolidating into First Person Shooters.
Most importantly tho, it's a game that still has a heavy following with massive sweeping mods and fan support that are still discussed to this day. To my mind, it is the pinnacle of proof that if people weren't specifically paid to develop video games, they'd still make them anyway. Art is beautiful. Turning demons into a fine, gristly, paste is art.
