Game tip
------------------------------------------------------------
- Doom
Title: Doom
Author: id Software
File size: 2,35 MB
Year: 1993
Version: Shareware 1.666
Rating: [X][X][X][X][X]
Doom is a fast-moving virtual reality game in which you are
plunged into a brutal 3-D world. To escape alive, you must
outfight legions of grisly fiends and solve Doom's lethal
puzzles. You play a marine equipped with a variety of
weapons and technological artifacts, but in the end it comes
down to who's tougher: you or them.

If you want to download this game, go to The Games Archive
(http://gamesarchive.etmnet.com/). After that you must
choose 'Games' in the frame to the left. Then you could
select 'Doom'. You will get a HTML document with some
information about the game. There you will also find a link
with which you can download the game.

What's new?
------------------------------------------------------------
- Play Pong while chatting
We have added the game Pong (Java) to the chat page. This
because you often must wait long before you get response
from the person who is chatting with you. Then you could
play Pong, which is located under the chatbox. So you don't
waste your time!
It's very easy to use: click with your mouse on the applet
and the game begins! Your paddle is controlled by the mouse,
the opponent's paddle is controlled by the computer. You
could try it if you wish!
