before that, you had Spear of Destiny, with BJ sent to fight demons ^^

[@yoe91]

this is just historical.

[@sinobrief]

John Carmack isn't even mentioned in the news. Bad for him.

[@LordWt]

He was too shy for that, John Romero was more the frontman of the company at that time

[@LucasFerreira-jy9kw]

Bacon Max they did the same with Steve Woz, Paul Allen

Anyway he is at 2.30

That Game is so old, but it made so much fun like in the first day i played it the first time.

Brought true joy to many lives with these games

[@konstantingeist3587]

Texture mapping technology! Wow!

[@LordWt]

in the early 90s, with PC being mainly used for office apps (and very slow), it was a big revolution

Happy 30th anniversary wolfenstein 3D

[@stephanewantiez164]

yes happy birthday Wolf3D!

[@Taren91]

Im reading the book about those guys, now) very interesting to look on this interview on 2021)

[@KenMasters.]

Fun Fact: Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (1992) did infact inspire Romero and Carmack to add a "Deathmatch Mode" in DooM (1993).

I died at the "REALISTIC TEXTURES". xD

[@stephanewantiez164]

for 1992 😅

[@LittleRichard1988]

I still play it. I like it's primitive ray casting and cartoonish graphics and the fact the floor and ceiling are depicted as a solid colour. I have never cared for more modern FPS games like COD.

[@wlsmojo]

No mention of Carmack? Wow!

And I just finished getting it and playing it ..... again

[@evanstein3011]

So weird to imagine there was a time when people looked at Wolfenstein 3D and thought of it as cutting edge ("realistic texture," lol). I imagine in 30 years we'll laugh at what we think of as "advanced" today, but it's still always surreal to look back on history with current eyes.

[@kafkawood]

Romero and his "co-workers"? What the hell?

[@kingsfield3945]

Romero paid them to say that.

[@CraigMansfield]

Kings Field I reckon :D

[@epitaph3653]

John Carmack has gone on to Occulus, which I believe will be his true calling. Everything else was just a warm-up...

[@LittleRichard1988]

This is still an awesome game and I even prefer it to Doom.

[@CR0NO-NL]

Same , i played Wolfenstein , when everyone else played doom. Once i had a pc to run doom i was already playing duke nukem 3D and quake ... So kinda skipped doom in my youth. Off course i played it later

[@planetX15]

If someone pointed a gun to my head and asked me to choose which ONE I prefer, I would probably die, because I love both Doom and Wolf3D equally!

[@LordWt]

@@CR0NO-NL same, I also missed Doom, and went from heavy Wolf3D and SOD playing, to Duke Nukem 3D and later Quake 2 and 3 (also missed the first one)... at that time, you were playing the game that your computer was able to run, the technology was evolving really fast

[@Konsker]

love this game

[@doilaphudu]

good video : )

If the game is there with you . Could you please email the version which says level and not floor . Thanks

[@jons44]

Wow.

[@sarpsarp8987]

Who made the engine is not mentioned

[@stephanewantiez164]

at least we can see John Carmack at 2:30... John Romero was really the face of the company at that time

[@planetX15]

2:42 Is that Adrian Carmack?

[@LordWt]

yes! he was one of the founders of the studio with John Carmack (no relationship), John Romero, and Tom Hall, and he left the studio in 2005

[@sarpsarp8987]

Are they not relatives? Their last names are the same

I was so ahead of my time that this video would look primitive to me back then ! I m 39 and the technology doesn't impress me cause I was born using technology !

[@manafbenayache1880]

What s with quality ? In 96 I used to watch movies on my Pentium 1 PC with CDROM and it looked way better ! Then couple of years I changed the CDROM into a DVD disc player ! Oh I guess I was ahead of my time back then ! Cause my PC in 96 was an IBM with WIn95 , CDROM, 2gb storage ! 64bite ram which was great back then I played Tomb Raider 2 and 3 on it ! Winup player , internet etc... I have played the original Prince Of Persia the guy with white outfit and blonde hair 😛then when Neoragex emulator came out I bought it by coincidence I asked the seller about KOF and he gave me the emulator ! Etc...

it was in 1992, the PC computers were much more basic at that time, and mainly dedicated to office software...

[@paulgraves1392]

@@CraigMansfield IIRC Carmack bought the Next step using the money he made off WOLF3D.

[@Reason4Termination]

2:00 The claims where John Romero would come in late, play games all day, have long breaks and leave early were true. Probably clocking in under "R&D" budget bucket whilst at it lol.

[@Lattamonsteri]

That mostly happened after Doom was released. But yes, they did do much "research" even during the Commander Keen series :D

[@LordWt]

John was working a lot, he did all the level editing tools etc. on the game, he's a great coder Carmack was building the engine, and Romero all the tools on it, and was doing at the same time the game and level design

[@revokdaryl1]

I wonder how many calls from irate viewers they got for showing the swastikas.

the game had been forbidden for decades in Germany because of that they never mentionned any problem other than that

[@stephanewantiez164]

actually most of them left the company since - John Romero is at Romero Games now in Ireland, John Carmack is working for Meta/Oculus as a consultant part-time, and most of his time in general AI related researchs, and the people from Apogee/3DRealms (Miller and Broussard) have sold the company since... Only Kevin Cloud is the one left of that era still in id, but he wasn't in this video...
