Anybody ever try any of this stuff?
I just finished a Doom novel called Knee-Deep in the Dead. Bought when Doom 3 was new, it's actually a reprint from 1995, being based on Doom and Doom II, consisting of 250 pages of "I walked down the corridor and shot three zombies with my shotgun. Round the corner a demon came at me, I took him out after my fifith rocket... blah blah". Never having managed to get beyond the first level of Doom, I wonder if it's a walkthrough 🤣. Was a little disappointing as it was a pretty literal treatment of a shoot-em-up as fiction, I thought they might do something a bit more creative. For what it's worth, it was slightly reminscent of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers in places 😜.
