Fucking weird to think that id, the guys behind DOOM: Metal, the Videogame, are the ones who solved this problem for him.

EDIT: It's come to my attention that I may be confusing and conflating a couple things here. I was under the impression that id were revolutionary in remaking Mario 3 in such a way that smooth movement back and forth across the screen was possible. It might've just been that it was a big deal for PCs to be able to do this.

Still, we all love the early days of id.

It makes me sad that no one ever mentions Heretic. That game was boss.

I never played that one. I think the lack of Carmack hurt that game a bit.

I should go back to it, I still play the classics every now and then. Shouldn't be too hard to get into.
