Getting a bit off Turbo topic here, but why do most people view the start of 
all of this FPS nonsense with Doom?  Wolfenstein 3D was the symbolic genesis 
of the genre...responsible for jumpstarting id's own Doom and a gazillion 
like games over the years.  I guess that Doom-clone is either to say than 
Wolfenstein-clone, huh?  I still get more of a rush playing Wolfenstein than 
I do Doom if that's not weird.  I guess with the advent of advanced titles 
like Half-Life, Quake, and Unreal, we can almost call Wolfy old school.  Ick.
