A Gamer Looks At 40
Ep 34 - A Descent Into the Hot Place: A Study of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and the Rise Of ID Software
Show Notes

When Id Software released Doom in 1993, it became a national sensation. It replaced the whimsical characters of Mario and Zelda with demonic creatures. Kids were carrying their PC's to LAN parties, and parents were appalled. But does the game hold up to modern thumbs? I talk to a host of Doom fans about the mechanics, visual style, and looking over both shoulders as you play.
