Salutations!

RailWolf linked me to this video, posted by John Romero:

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.

Fun to see that still-in-development footage of the game, and what their offices looked like at the time...

That's cool, the scene about writing the commander keen music has been on the dopefish website for a while. http://dopefish.com/fishinfo.html

Another thing to note. Those kids during the Sega Genesis Aladdin scene are probably 24, 23, and 17 right now. They looked about 5, 4, and 1.

Dan (the filmer) called it "Torpedo launcher" - LOL

Great little piece of history right there.

Love it how Romero is trying to show off, you can still sense the enthusiasm.

Miss working in an office environment like that...
