Dunno if it's been posted around yet. Sorry if it was.

Brings back some memories...)

And I loved how the hardcore guys doing monsters and all the brutal stuff were playing "Alladin"=) I must have played like a million times I even still remember where some of the secrets are and the level in the cave of wonders, when it stars collapsing was the sickest of all.

And yeah the maps from doom are also too familiar+) But I never found so many secret spots.)

It's also interesting how those kids were playing around the studio. I wish my parents took me to ID to hang out, when I was little.)

    oh, thats a pity. It a video posted by John Romero with the following annotation:
    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.

    How come it doesn't work at your place? I thought, that if it works in belarus - it works everywhere
