Over at Planet Rome.ro our favorite guy who made Doom, Meester Romero, has finally opened his Doom Section. With what, you ask? Well, there's a whole bunch of neat stuff there. You can download an old radio ad for Ultimate Doom (back when id had to do all that PR stuff) and a nifty little story about a tape Manny Charlton sent to id in 1995 (he's the lead singer from Nazareth...yeah I never heard of them either) as well as a download link to an mp3 of the song on the tape. Ah, but the best is yet to come! If you know who Lee Killough is, you will want to read on. PS - I don't have ftp access, so you'll have to live with the cake picture until Ling changes it. Okay I fixed it, but I liked the cake so much I left it in! <3
Along with Romero's Doom section, he has also (finally) uploaded the archives of Lee Killough's Doom Pages. If you don't know who Lee is, well first, shame on you, and second, he's the guy behind Boom (along with a few others at TeamTNT) and later MBF, which is the port SMMU and now Eternity are based on. The site was one of my favorites a few years ago, and it houses numerous really cool things about the original engine such as all the bugs and oddities and limits. Also you can check out a ton of info on the older alpha and beta versions of Doom as well as read up on all sorts of other neat stuff.
So essentially, if there was ever anything you wanted to know about Doom, this is the place to go. It was a big disappointment when Lee took the site down all those years ago, but it's good to know it's finally back. So now we must all shower Mr. Romero with praise and gold and virgins and stuff. So there. It's just the decent thing to do.
