A Visit To id Software Circa 1993

I love hearing all the peoples reactions to the stuff going on the screen. It seems so quaint now. Like the guy going WOAAH!! THATS NEAT when he sees the light flickering in the hallways. hahahh! His mind was BLOWN!!!!

"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?

straight country at the ID offices.

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.

Crazy, brings back memories to my first FPS.

This is so many different kinds of awesome.

Wow, kinda makes me want to play Doom again...

"Ha, I wish I grew up during an age with technical limitations..."

welcome to the FUTURE!!!

Oh man does this take me back to some gaming goodness!

Ha, I wish I grew up during an age with technical limitations...

Screw you faggots.

that was awesome to watch

this is amazing.

This is completely awesome.

The video is awesome.
I wish someone would post something like that from the MK Team.

I can't see a video of Doom anymore and not think of Bill Gates shooting some demon.

Great post man.

Man this is awesome. It's crazy looking back on how games were made back then. Imagine how a video like this would look today.

Ah...the golden days. Back when people didn't care about analyzing games and just played them, regardless of quality.

*Digs out old CD-Rom copy of DOOM*

I hope this still works.  I wanna play through it again.

THE MULLETS! OH THE MULLETS!

Aladdin was an amazing game <3

I should go play Doom right now.

this is rad

yay

Too awesome!  Watching it now.  I love learning about how games were made.

I've been enthralled with this video for the last 20 minutes.  Makes me miss the days of booting up Doom for the first time with jaw-dropping amazement.  Few games do this for me anymore =/

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.
