A Visit To id Software Circa 1993

Why are old topics bumping to the top of the board randomly??

Just too damned amazing! Hope other people digg up these kind of videos too :3

Old computers for the win!

oh, to be impressed with the novelty of exploding barrels...

barrells = CANS
gibs = BITS

this is how it shall be from this day forward, thank you

I love how unimpressed she is!

"This is a hidden area!"
"Oh..... heh heh .....sigh... *looks at watch* "

Reminds me of every single time I've ever shown a game to a non-gamer.

omg i totally played aladin, and it sounds like a haunted house show when the name cards pop up.

I was a toddler when this first came out, my first gaming experience was playing Doom on a computer at my dad's work.

Damn, I miss the 90's.

I laughed so hard when he said 'Now that's 3D!' when they were playing DOOM. Oh how innocent they were back in those days. Good times, good times.

Great video. I enjoy these kinds of vids.

"Now THATS 3D" lol. 
I can actually remember myself saying somthing like "Wow! Awesome 3D graphics!" when i first saw doom.

Awesome video. Even though the graphics are antiquated now, a lot of the stuff they were doing is still very impressive.

nostalgiagasm

I'm glad the video is getting more of the exposure it deserves, but I'm disappointed my thread about this got 0 replies while I'm getting no credit for what basically became a main page article :/

It seems that way, doesn't it? :)

lol @ the fascination with exploding barrels.

I'm gonna be a douchebag and say making games and the people involved always seemed like more fun back then.

Wow that is cool!

Awesome vid :) I wish more of this would get released, making off footage from old games that didn't receive it in the PR process like today (With the all the highly-scripted Developer Diarrheas today)

this is pretty awesome, how exited they are at it is really amusingly nolstalgic.

weird I was just playing me some DOOM, awesome stuff, games today need some of that 'Ultra-Violence' feel.

 Superior Mullets!

That Bobby Prince stuff is priceless :)

I love how everything is different on the Doom levels.  Skull staff power ups?  The "This Love" track on the third level instead of Doom 2?  This is really cool to see.

I remember Aladdin well, Level start, level cheat, level start level cheat.

Man I'm so glad we have progressed and I remember playing Doom 3 and Duke Nukem 3D and thinking they were crap. Half-Life was the first game to really get me into the FPS and the PC because before that I was an adventure/RPG and Third Person shooter guy on my Playstation and Amiga etc etc lol.

oh man this video also makes me feel old. lol, man have we come a long way!

"I wonder what games will look like 15-20 years from now."

Brings back memories. Painful memories of MS-DOS and happy memories of Doom.

Man, that video's bad-ass. And yes, the "dudes turn on each other" feature was/is totally rad

Sick... and when you think about it, this wasn't so long ago... I wonder what games will look like 15-20 years from now.

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...

I just nostalgiaed so hard several of my arteries exploded and my eyes began seeing 8bit.

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. :)

Daaamn. Hella prototype E1M1.

wow Doom is older then i thought.  I didn't play it until i got ULTIMATE Doom for christmas in 1998.. a great year.

he eh heee~!

Watching these guys drool over Doom's Graphics and design blew my mind.

Remember kids, that was all keyboard.  No mouselook.  Cuz you couldn't aim up and down, see.

By the way...the MIDI composing part was amazing.  When they were talking about the Commander Keen intro.  This video rocks.

Aladdin was so awesome. Camel hopping should be in every game.

Damn that is awesome.  This makes me feel old.

Lol man if only they knew what was to come.

Someone likes The Zombies

I was nine when this video was taken. I remember the release of Doom. My older brother was all over it. One of those amazing games that will always have you coming back.

wow, i forgot they had a chain saw in doom. if you go to 24:37 you will see it. man those were the good old days of
gaming. no one was really arguing about which system was better, it was all about the games even though
the graphics were not all that incredible.

i used to love aladin on the mega drive.
i never finished though

This is the PERFECT compliment to the book "Masters of Doom" by David Kushner. I´ve been looking forward to this video since I heard on Romero´s twitter that he was about to upload it. Without a doubt one of the most interesting videos I´ve seen.

This is a blast from the past.

24:58: "Aw, chainsaws, unbelievable!"

This is the moment in this video when I realize that games are now incredibly stale, and that our innovations are just going down one linear path.
