User:Janizdreg

I am a Finnish Doomer nicknamed Janizdreg, which is often abbreviated as Janiz.

I first played the Doom shareware back in 1994 on a 386/33 with PC speaker sounds. Still, the game totally blew me away right from the start - no other game before or after Doom has made as strong impact on me as it did (well, maybe Doom II ;)

In 1997 I finally got an internet connection and quickly discovered the online Doom community (Mr. Doom's was the first Doom related website I ran into). Since then I've browsed through hundreds of Doom devoted websites, FTPs, chats, forums and newsgroups, trying to satisfy my apparently bottomless hunger for Doom information and trivia.

Along the way I've been involved in various Doom projects, including:

1998:
 * Doom Updates page (webmaster)

1999:
 * Imp Atak (author)
 * QDOOM (beta tester)
 * UAC (co-author)

2000-2004:
 * ZDoom config scripts (author)
 * Stimpack-team's site (webmaster)

2005:
 * Doom Wiki (administrator)

To do

 * Create a comprehensive history article with detailed information on how Doom came to be (including stuff like what features were dropped and why, how the name DOOM was chosen, influences, etc.)
 * Write an article about tics
 * Write an article/articles about Doom 1.9 & 1.91 usage and tweaking
 * Add missing code pointers to the dehacked article
 * Add miscellaneous trivia
 * Add the missing Hell Knight Evilution IWAD stat
