An entertaining article, Gary :)

I also remember taking one look at the 32X version of Doom and said "Nope".

Though I still remember how hard they marketed it. The TV commercials ran incessantly for a while. I guess they just thought it would be a sure sell because it was a Doom title. Sadly, they were probably right.

It's weird, because the 32X got no real advertising here. Certainly no TV spots that I can recall. It was just there, sitting on shelves, being quietly forgotten about. There was some good stuff on there, hidden away. Doom was not one of them.

Thanks for reading!

I don't recall seeing the 32X commercial much myself (which had a bunch of meat industry workers talking the game up), but I did see the Jaguar one a lot. "The best Doom ever." Somehow I doubt that....

LOL... I never saw that one... That commercial's actually pretty clever!
