This is the literal, paper manual that shipped with the original Doom mail order versions. "Doom is meant to be played keyboard only" or "The proper way to play Doom is without a mouse" - FALSE.Ī has a convenient scanned copy of the original Doom manual. "DOS Doom in the '90s didn't have mouse support" - FALSE. "Some people even today prefer to play Doom with the keyboard only" - true. "Lots of people in the 90s played Doom with the keyboard only" - true. My goal here is to provide a conclusive debunking of this particular myth and then if anyone ever needs a citation in future then you can link this page. Time erodes our memories of the past and myths like these can obscure what really happened. This seems to be an oft-repeated myth that somehow has gained a foothold in people's memories of Doom over time.
