Doom: The FPS that wowed players, gummed up servers, and enraged admins

Juillen 1

I used to be sysadmin for a pretty big ad agency at that point.

During the normal day, there were so many requests about mapping drives and the like, it wasn't funny. Then came Doom.

I set up a server, inside its own NT domain, and gave people accounts on it on request. Doom was on a share that came up when office hours ended, and closed at 6am. That's all the info I ever disclosed on that machine to people. No help mapping drive, or swapping domains.

You'd be amazed at how quickly people learn to map drives when their fun is at stake! :) Never heard a peep about mapping drives after that.
