Cura) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: DooM for NetBSD, will it become a reality? Date: 15 Sep 1994 02:49:08 -0700 Organization: Portland State University, Portland, OR Lines: 24 Message-ID: <3595ak$l2i@jetsam.ee.pdx.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: jetsam.ee.pdx.edu Dear DooMerz and NetBSDers, With the advent of LinuxDooM, not only did the jealousy in my heart rage, but so did my anger as I threw my "Unix System Administrator's Handbook" across the room. What is the deal here? Why on earth, out of the many people that use NetBSD and FreeBSD, did no one cry out for our very own version of DooM?!? Am I the only one in the *BSD camps who would be interested in such a port? Sure, the ports we have are fine. Ghostscript, tcl, emacs, heck, even xv. But what about DooM??? Come on guys! Why do the *BSD'ers always get the short end of the stick when it comes to things like this? Are we so soaked up in the everyday world of OS hacking that we don't take the time off to play a little game of guts and gore? I want DooM for my NetBSD and I want it now! Will someone please tell me where I can e-mail ID software so that I can "Tear down the doors"? I say we send 'em a blitz of mail telling them what I(we) want. Sincerely, mcura@ee.pdx.edu
