To the best of my recollection, yes…but a great episode.

It's really not all that involved - the hardest part is absolutely going to be finding Doom2.wad. If you (like me) have an old CD on hand you probably already have that, though I recognize there's a huge difference between "I have the cd" and "I can easily access the cd"...

After you have that though, it's just a matter of:
1 Downloading / unzipping GZDoom (free, easy to find)
2 Tossing Doom2.wad and the mod's .pk3 file into the unzipped GZDoom folder, and
3 Dragging the .pk3 onto gzdoom.exe.

Getting mods up and running in something like Skyrim or Fallout is substantially more fiddly.

Cool. Now when I leave my laptop unattended I'll let this run to make it look like I've been really busy figuring out really important stuff

I've built so many maps for this game for my friends and I to enjoy. God I miss the 90's FPS gaming.

I got a 4mb Voodoo 1 passthrough card when they first came out and to this day still think it was the most "holy shit!" game changer I have ever seen. 800x600 using Glide was unreal. I also had a GF 256 and while it certainly smoked the Voodoos in performance, the difference between software rendering and the Glide API was mindblowing.

Ah...the 7th Guest. Back in those days almost every PC makers are bundling this game and/or Myst to up-sell their CD-ROM drives.

Yes, i believe so. My family had a number of writable cartridge computers. There was always dozens of computers lying around spanning generations. After a point though, they ended up in the garage and now its the modern age. But back in the day, we had such a range of old computers lying around. it was like an episode of hoarders but all technology. lol

Not really, no. A Christmas movie to me has Christmas as an essential part of the plot, not just a movie that is regularly showing on Christmas.

That said, this reminds me of the Christmas version of Castle Wolfenstein 3D...

Love that midi soundtrack.

Same here. I also had a 4mb Diamond Monster 3D card. To this day I still say it's the best upgrade to my computer that I ever made. I don't think that "wow" feeling after running Quake2 on it for the first time will ever happen again.

I miss my Commodore VIC-20. Got it in 1983 and learned how to program in BASIC with 3.5 kb of RAM. Backed up programs onto cassettes. Spent many hours playing Radar RatRace.

Oh! And of course: Demoscene!

Demoscene is similar to chiptunes, but spawned about a decade (?) before the NES really popularized game tunes, and came out of Europe's, uh, "demo scene" (computer programming demos usually focused around visuals with accompanying soundtracks).
If you're ever into that kind of thing, I can recommend Nectarine Radio (scenemusic.net), though they occasionally drift into euro-crap disco-pop, they're essentially a searchable/playable database of the history of European (primarily) computer game soundtracks and demo music. Also a very strange, unique genre that shares a significant amount with the game medium!
