If you're going to claim people played Doom and got laid then I'm going to have to ask for proof. Vince Vaughn himself used NHL 94 to get laid in front of America

I loved Doom back in the day. Also I remember playing a hell of a lot of X-Wing vs TIE Fighter back in the day with my trusty Flight Stick Pro joy stick.

That was probably the best joystick of that era plus it was made in San Diego before everything got outsourced to China.

I remember the first time my daughter saw me playing Doom. She stood quietly by me for a minute or so then turned around and ran off shouting" Mommy!!!! Daddy's playing a videogame that's NOT NICE AT ALL!!!!!!!!"

The spark that ignited a bloody civil war (500,000 people killed) was started by Hutu troops, which shot down a plan carrying the president of Rwanda and Burundi in revenge for allowing the Tutsi to share power.

Rwanda Genocide
Over 800,000 innocent Tutsis are hacked to death by Hutu extremists. The world does nothingIRA peace talks result in a cease-fire

Existence of black holes proved.
The Hubble telescope reveals conclusive evidence of the existence of black holes, which had been purely theoretical up until this point.

On June 13, 1994 Nicole Brown Simpsons and Ronald Goldman were murdered outside Nicole's house in Brentwood, CA. On June 17th, OJ and his friend Al Cowlings took flight from the police in his white Ford Bronco, in a low speed chase which ended up at his mansion where he surrendered.

Kurt Cobain's Suicide
Nirvana's singer, Kurt Cobain, dies at 27 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was found by wife, Courtney Love, and a whole generation of teens mourned.

That was the worst part of it. Commodore was the BOMB! It was the best computer gaming system of my childhood and everyone I knew had one.
