It amuses me that now that, given that Doom runs on so many different

DOOM is actually running on his gravestone, just for giggles.

 
Actually, "Night Trap" would probably offend him more. That was -for
reasons nobody understood- is the hill he went to war over. Well, that
and "Mortal Kombat". "Doom" was almost a secondary concern (after all,
nobody played PC games; only console tiles mattered in 1995 ;-).
 
TIL that Jack Thompson is still alive. But he remains disbarred, so we
still got that.
 
 
 
 
 
 
(What, me hold a grudge? ;-)

I looked up "Night Trap" -- rated T for Teen.  Looks fairly innocuous.
I don't think Liebermann was playing with a full deck.
