Of course these games also had instructions for people who didn't want to figure out the (simple) controls for themselves:
"But I had no manual, I started with the popular shareware version"
Even this version had the help screen with the most important commads:
It also had a text-file with more verbose instructions: http://www.classicdoom.com/doominfo.htm
I get the hate about mandatory unskippable tutorial sequences. But giving the player no instructions at all is just as bad as the above. It is either elitist behavior (only invite the people who get the gameplay/controls into the club) or lack of skill to explain things or just laziness.
