First place I heard of 'Camping' or the WASD setup, or as it was known to us at the time the 'Quake configuration'. Good days, good laughs.

Always preferred the Quake game when it came out but that was about three years after DOOM.

Quake had a other and a better graphics engine! In that time, that mean a better game in several aspects. My first fps was wolfstein (but not when it first come out). My copy of Doom II had a wolfstein 2 level or something like that. Still I played more Doom II that the first one.
And I also remember the homage payed by Duke Nukem III to Doom!

I remember sitting in a 12'x12' tent in Kosovo playing Doom - two player, with a bin liner taped down the middle of the screen on our 14" colour portable telly so we couldn't see where the other player was. It worked well. The setup also worked well with Downhill Mountain Biking, but not Worms.

Me and a mate did a similar thing with some card and string for a 2 player game of...I think it was Syphon Filter.

Syphon Filter makes me physically sick to my stomach.
