Gamespy has a extensive collection of articles there about this. :)

To quote my school's librarian: "You don't need to playing that Doom shooting game!"

It was Half-Life, though. :D

ALL FPSes are Doom. Just like how into the mid '90s all consoles were Nintendos. And now they're all Playstations.
Great Rumbler
Yeah, that's the way it is. Brand names become general use names for similar products.

#1 on that list is Band-Aid. I mean, does anyone call them 'sanitary bandages' or 'adhesive bandages' or something like that? :)
Great Rumbler
Nobody that I know of.
A Black Falcon
Yeah. I mean some people say 'Kleenex' and others 'tissue', or 'Xerox' or 'Photocopy', etc... but 'Band-Aid'? No one calls them anything else.

I call them "adhesive bandages with a gauze pad in the center, employed to protect minor wounds", or ABWAGPITCETPMW for short.

Except the french.
