History of Doom

[Mordeth]

Slashdot has posted a blurp about the "History of Doom", an article by a member of dcvision.com. I wish I could say it was an interesting read, but.

a 'blurp' -- how accurate.

If he were dead Lee Killough would be spinning in his grave.

Sadly, I never got to see Lee Killough's Doom site :( Didn't John Romero say that he would have the whole site at Planet Romero?

About this Slashdot article, I didn't read the whole thing, but one thing I was happy about was the list of level designers for all of Doom and Doom II. I never could find a complete list like this before, all I had was bits of information from the 5 Years of Doom site, and interviews.

I hope that list is correct... I always thought that it was John Romero who designed Doom II MAP01, not Sandy Petersen.

Stuck for something to write on your web page?
Why not guess at the history of Doom and waste yet more web space.

Buttini!
