How'd you complete Doom with just a pistol?

The fact he mentioned one of the few that doesn't actually complete as I will I'd put this one in the 'Cool story bro' camp.

I actually got a couple of old games from OS/VS1 up and running on z/OS a while ago and have Snake running there. I think Star Trek on OS/VS1 possibly predates Colossal Cave

When I worked in Brentwood on OS/VS1 and then on MVS we had an RJE (with acoustic coupler) and used to dial in to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD1
