'Unreal' demo really coming to PCs

Unreal was a 'Me Too' deathmatch game at the time

Unreal Tournament most certainly should not be given credit to introducing the world to the joys of deathmatch. Doom I and II and Quake I and II were out years prior to Unreal, all of which offered complete deathmatch gaming. By the time that Unreal came along, it was nothing more than a 'me too' game running alongside id's Quake III game.

Unreal did NOT introduce anything new at all to the world of deathmatch (or CTF for that matter) that hadn't already been a part of id's products and mods for years. For this reason I find it entirely inaccurate to describe it in the way you do as it having 'introduced an entire generation to the joys of deathmatch' when in fact that entire generation that you speak of already had a well developed set of deathmatch skills as a result of playing years of Doom and Quake.

Not the original DM...

I have to agree with the above post by Admin44. The things that UT did introduce were phenomenal graphics and amazing sound - "KILLING SPREE!"

I was playing Doom DM back in 1994, long before UT came out.
