the video linked in the article brings back a lot of good memory of the touch and feel of DOOM's shotgun, it is by far the best weapon in all FPS games. ;)
Agreed, seeing the run thru my mind kept going back to the "keyboard feel", for lack of how better to describe it, from playing it and the muscle memories associated. I was 17 when I was playing this game, there are other oddly specific memories associated with the game/time too, cranking Pearl Jam or Pantera while playing it and annoying the shit out of my parents... good times.
I kinda liked the double shotgun, it really packed a punch.
