Many years ago, early 90′s, I loved Amiga, and hated PC IBM.
Then I saw Doom, and ALL changed.

ID showed to me the potential of PC, in a manner I never tought possible.

ALL the modern success of PC as a game machine, is because Doom existed.

Happy birthday and thanks ID, thanks Romero, I hope the two JohnS one day will work again together.
Doom 4 can be a good excuse for that?

Met John once here over at the Netherlands, played Daikatana deathmatch with him. Still have a picture of that one, me and John, sitting afterwards, both long haired dudes

Having played Wold and then going to Doom back in the day did it for me. That was my religious conversion – I was hooked ever since!

Congrats and game on!

I remember the beginning and the end for some of the founders of id. From the lake house to Mesquite…from rags to riches i’d say. Happy bday to id.

I remember when Wolfenstein was brand new, I was forever hooked on FPS gaming. I was very young at the time and didn’t actually have a computer of my own. I would play the game at a friends place on his Dad’s computer after school every chance I could get.

Eventually when Doom was released I had myself a brand new 486. It was an SX/25MHz machine with a whopping 4MB of RAM. I still enjoy Doom today, which goes to show how its great gameplay makes it just as fun almost 15+ years later…

Thank id, and thanks to you too John!

Man…it was 1992, I was 14 years old. First time I played Wolf 3D.
Today I played first episode of Wolf 3D, still a good game all these years.

Happy Birthday Id Software!

Time passes by… I can remeber when I had my 486 DX4 – 100 Mhz and I played on it. Then I bought my 3DFX Voodoo 3000 and downloaded Carmacks patch. My eyes couldn´t believe ! It was like changing from a B/W TV to a Plasma Screen ! I knew that Id would have changed it forever. And really not looking back ! I still have Quake on my Computer (not the 486 though but using those new engines that are now been distributed (GlRack I think). Ampper keep the game still alive and rock solid. This is a quake that will never stop shaking the world… and future generations.

I’ve read “Master of Doom” two or three times, and my dream is to make that kind of games id Software have done in the old god times, too! What I like from id software is the way they worked at the beginning and the way they thinked about the purpose of their job: to do great funny games and to spent a good time making them…

ID Software & John Romero for ever!
