  I don’t know if I used the mouse with Wolfenstein 3D when it first came out. But I recall playing the Mac port later with a mouse, and that it didn’t feel great there.

    Doom could be played with a mouse, but it was made for the keyboard. Because of the only horizontal freedom of turning, the mouse was just uncomfortable.
