I wish I could go back and play it again for the first time. It was one of the first games I played after getting my first voodoo card. It felt like I was experiencing the bleeding edge of tech.
Thinking about it, i can't remeber a time in the last decade that a game made me feel that way. Crysis was probably the last time.
More on topic, yes everyone should own it. I think I bought a steam or GOG bundle and got all the doom and quake games for like $5-$10 or something like that.
Messing around with VR gave me that sense of wonder again for a while. If you ever get the chance to play around with it i recommend it

I started playing yesterday and couldn't let go.
II is epic. It's a total must if that's your thing. It literally set the standard. Ok, well Q1 did, but II, what a treat.
I don’t like it nearly as much as the first but it’s definitely worth a pickup. Still better than the vast majority of boomer shooters that have come out in the past 8 or so years. The remaster is well done.
