Hey everyone,
I just had a kick of nostalgic memories (while reading our local Game Wizzard's, MrFlibble's thread (http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=27737) about Jordan Mechner) from the time I read Masters of Doom by David Kushner, which is a biographic novel about id Software - John Carmack, John Romero, Adrian Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur, and many others - and it was among my inspirations to be a programmer... Well, why I didn't really became a software engineer is another story, but this one is much more interesting. I had to contact Romero (surprisingly, anyone can) himself for a link (http://romero.smugmug.com/Video-Games/The-Archives/480_GtbLPv#!i=14482&k=rE9zd) to the photos from the Shreveport Lakehouse era he had on his site which used to be found at rome.ro! :)
If by any chance you ever wondered how they made Commander Keen, Wolfenstein, or Doom, here's a place where you can see everything.
Have fun, folks!
