John Romero was the designer on Doom while he was still at id Software, the company he co-founded, back in the nineties.
John often tweets some interesting little titbits, and recently on John’s twitter account he left a few tweets related to Doom, seeing as it was Doom’s 16th birthday recently:
“instead of making Doom, we almost ended up making Aliens instead, after the movie. An hour later we decided not to.”
“It's DOOM's 16 birthday today - Happy Birthday DOOM!
Happy Birthday DOOM!”“DOOM only cost id Software about $700k to produce in 1993”
There you are, some Doom trivia. I like video game trivia. Don’t you? Maybe John will leave some more Doom tweets this month.
I noticed how Tom Hall didn’t have anything to tweet about Doom. Perhaps he’s bitter, and understandably, seeing as he was fired from id by John Carmack during the development process of Doom. He was the one who made the infamous Doom Bible, the original design document for the game.
