A Visit to id Software (November 1993)

[Barone]

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 John Romero playing DOOM before the sound effects were put in as well as some early deathmatching with Shawn Green.

This video was done by John Romero. Many thanks to him for allowing us to post this video here.

His original video can be found on Vimeo:

Interesting video. I took a huge interest in the old days of id Software a few years ago after I read Masters of Doom (great book, I recommend it), and I reignited my interest in programming as a result.

Thanks for sharing the vid.
