In 1990, in the offices of Softdisk: John Carmack found out a way to get smooth-scrolling computer graphics on the PC. To demonstrate this, he and Tom Hall stayed up late into the night to copy the first level of Super Mario Bros. 3 and use John Romero's Dangerous Dave character as Mario. And Romero was supposed to be the first person who saw the demo. In the next morning, Romero found a disk labeled "Run me" on his desk and he realized that this could mean fame and fortune. That was the beginning of id Software.

  • old games are better than new super graphic games

  • I agree in a part.

    Today's games actually are pretty nice and fun, but nothing can beat the simple good old DOS games. :)

  • @3GenGames Scrolling, yes; but not this type, and not this smooth.

  • @roxasfruit I didn't know in 1990 the first computer was built. There were computers that had scrolling way before this, lol.

  • this is the 1st side scrolling game to ever exist on computers

    it proved that, what is widely thought of as impossible, is just quite possible

    and the success of that would eventually bring upon the very existence of first person shooters

  • copyright john romero? Oh that's nice, carmack writes it and romero puts his name on it? euhhh k?

  • @Jagguarek

    Nostalgia goggles. They aren't really. Often they used cheap tactics to lengthen the game and were more frustrating than fun.

  • Im currently reading the book Masters of Doom about the chaps that made this , fascinating read!

  • Nice channel!

  • 1:03 Yay he's playing level 7:1
