I just searched the Origin store for DOOM - by accident, wrong tab - and predictably, it didn't find it (it's on Steam)
But what it did come back with is revealing: Origin[^]
"The 100% Electric Nissan Leaf®"
Strangely, I can see a connection ...

GoG has a pretty good deal on DooM[^], but you'll want to also install one of the advanced ports[^], for the better graphics, etc.
I used to use Doom Legacy[^] , but it's fallen a bit behind in compatibility with user-created Wads[^], so I now use GZDoom[^].
[edit] Hmm, the link to the idgames ftp site doesn't seem to work, in CP, but if you use a decent file manager, you can connect anonymously to ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/msdos/games/idgames/levels/ [/edit]

I've got all the DooM stuff on GoG - heck, I've lost count of how many copies of DooM i;'ve bought over the years!
I'm thinking about the 2016 version on Steam. I've found that the MB and i5 I fitted in the summer plays the demo nicely, even if I have a GTX 660 Ti and the min requirements are a 670. The culprit was this: Modders build Doom (2016) tutorial level in Doom 2 (1994) - Polygon[^]. Man! That would have been a magnificent Doom2 level!
I dunno. DooM took over my life back in the day; do I have time to play it properly and do it justice?

I believe you are looking for their original release: Commander Keen on Steam[^]
That really was a great game. I played it on an IBM PS/2 (from 3.5" disks) while working in the Computer Lab at University.

Hey, that hasn't made it to the idgames archive!
It's in my archive now, though!

That's what I thought when I found the idgames archive, but megawads like Requiem[^] make you find the time.

Aladdin was a middle eastern / arabic character from "One Thousand and One Nights" who got into a lot of trouble (and reward he didn't deserve) by rubbing a lamp.

Ah I see... so just a regular crossword clue then
But it is a good one at that

It's still a cryptic because it requires you to make the mental leap from rubber to someone who rubs a lamp.

Probably noticed I didn't turn up to scream SCROTUM when a 7 letter CCC appeared and thought of me.
