Yeah the first weapon is certainly a pew pew weapon, they get a bit better for sure. Doom does have that color that makes a person want to puke a bit in some areas, which is perfect for it, perfect for the immersion of being in a bad place. Doom when it came out was just beyond any game world I've been in. 

I switch between Doom, Doom II, and Heretic.

Ultima Underworld was good, but a bit clunky compared to Doom's smooth interface. I spent a lot of time in booth. 

I still haven't finished the version of Heretic I have. It gets pretty difficult.

I've got to bring up Hexen and take a peak I have that back in my mind somewhere but I can't recall exactly what it looks like.
