A Visit to id Software (Part 1/3)

YouTube mirror of John Romero's DOOM development video.

"In 1993, Dan Linton, owner of a hugely successful BBS called Software Creations, visited Texas and made his way to id Software. This is the footage he recorded one night in November 1993.

Shown are several of id's employees at the time: Jay Wilbur, Shawn Green, John Romero, Dave Taylor, Sandy Petersen and Adrian Carmack, Bobby Prince was visiting to finish the music and create the sound effects.

This video has 21 minutes of me playing DOOM before the sound effects were put in as well as some early deathmatching with Shawn Green."

[Jagethemage]

funny thing is the little 2yr old baby stumbling around, watching romero play Aladdin, had more indepth game story talent back then than 99% of game designers today

[foxycorredor]

is that like a beta version of doom or something ?

[tenacious645]

John Romero was the heart and soul of the company and without him the just dont turn out magic anymore. Dont get me wrong doom 3 was awesome but not magical like quake and doom were

[tenacious645]

theres no WOW factor in games now
