Talking Hall

[Bloodshedder]

Matt Barton of Matt Chat has recently posted a three-part series of videos where he discusses various topics with game designer Tom Hall, a name you might recognize. With videos divided into different topics, you can learn more about Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, and ROTT plus Anachronox.

Nice, I always like these interviews with old time developers. This one brings some clarity to Tom's latter years at ID.

Is he really wearing a John Romero tshirt in that first video?

I think this was republished, I've seen this a long time ago.

It's funny, many of the (unfinished) maps I'm working on are closer to Tom Hall's vision of Doom than Romero's. It seems like Hall's maps would have been accepted by the modern community, but Romero was unquestionably right to do things his own way.
