Words can not describe the awesomeness of the video John Romero posted on his blog yesterday. Essentially it's a video from the early Doom days (circa 1993) at id Software. You get a tour of the office and some behind the scenes interviews with some of the major players from Id at the time. There's some fabulously ancient talk about memory usage as well as some bad-ass MIDI tunes. Also... Aladdinon the Genesis is played.

Ah...the golden days. Back when people didn't care about analyzing games and just played them, regardless of quality.
"Ha, I wish I grew up during an age with technical limitations..."We are in that age. In 16 years the tech we have, right now, will seem limited.
One of the fleeting goals of my life is to find/build a time machine and go back to this period so I can be involved in the process.
Too awesome.
"Do you ever shoot some of them and you don't shoot them good enough so they can get back up and come after you?"
Lady's thinking way ahead! How much more awesome would the game had been for that?
Oh man. Every level they showed, my brain was going "oh, they changed that! and that! oh wow and that! hey cool! look at that! Hey that switch is different!"
Some would argue that I know Doom's maps too well. I'd say that I know them just the right amount. :)
LOL he is making his own sound effects "BZHIZH! BOOM!" and they are really amazed by tha graphics. I can't even remember being so exited about games...well maybe the HL2 trailer I was all "Oh man look at the physics!" I took the trailer to my friend becuase I had to show him and we looked at and were so amazed. I wonder what will be the next thing after graphics and physics for FPS games...
