He's such a perfect opposite to John Carmack! He's like the heart to Carmack's brain or the Kirk to Carmack's Spock. Remember the hilariously bad ad compaign for 'Daikatana' which Romero himself said he regretted? I read somewhere back in the day (probably in some issue of PC Gamer or EGM back in the '90s) that the concept behind 'Doom' was based on a nightmare John Romero had.
@MeisterSuperandi there is a good reason why newer games have more bugs i them they are a hell of a lot harder to code for because the game engines are far more advanced compicated.
@TheBazman111 not accurate. Some games were coded in assembly, since C was not good enough hardware wise. Assembly programming is like holding sand in your hand, any misplaced breath and something slips out.
Great guy and awsome legend of video game programing n what a man he was xD.
And it was ofc this very man John Romero that was the reason why i got to know the History of the classic Doom game titles such as Doom2, Plutonia, TNT Evolution and so on.
"My other favorite game of all time is Daikatana. It's the game that I worked on and it was a great experience. I spent millions of dollars and three years working on it and the results were astounding. The graphics are awful, the character AI is beyond stupidity, the weapons are useless, the controls are horrendous, and the game is hard as hell.
As a result of its awesomeness, Daikatana became a flop and my company Ion Storm went down the drain. I highly recommend giving Daikatana a try."

When I saw Mario on the list, I was expecting Chrono Trigger as the first one, not kidding.

That was a good time, i don't like new games. Old games have far fewer bugs than new ones!

Great selection of games. AOE is one of my top 5 as well, but #1 is probably Thexder, Galaga, or Ys

Honestly though, Quake was far more scary than Doom was for me. Doom wasn't even remotely so, really.

2:04 That's an earlier version of DN3D from 1995. I wonder where's that gameplay from since it's not so easy to find that version.
