In this video, I attempt to destroy the myth that Doom was meant to be only played with just the keyboard. This isn't to say you couldn't do it if you wanted to, it's to say that other options were available since day one.

A lot of the examples were compiled prior to making this video, as seen in this thread by fraggle on Doomworld:
