Slint is highly praised and credited with creating the 90's, rock-wise, yet they are not that popular nowadays and no one outside some hipster circles says yeah dude, play some Slint! [b]The same goes for Doom. It's kind of dead now[/b], compared to the 90's let's say or compared to other FPS's people tend to play. The last year's release helped, I admit that.

And I am just nostalgic about it, I don't really like in any special way to be honest. 

I guess we could say it's 'underpopular' instead of underrated, because it is considered a classic like you said. But that's the meaning I thought was implied in this thread when I agreed with cpldingo.

You cant expect a game that is 2 and a half decades old to be as consistently popular as it was upon release, but considering its age, you would be hard pressed to find a 'classic' from that era that is as popular as doom, even pokemon was released 3 years later. 

Basically Doom is not underrated, people don't play Goldeneye 64 anymore either, but you would never in a million years say that was 'underrated' would you? It was the first video game to win a BAFTA for Christ sake. There are plenty good 90s games that don't get the praise they deserve, but doom is not one of them.
