Are there any John Romero fans here?

Post by Daz@RG »

Just wondering as we've been putting together some cool stuff in Retro Gamer. Would be good to know if people still love the classics.

I'm sure there's a good amount of oldschool id Software fans around. I still play the classics on occasion.

Well, I think I may be alone in being a long time Romero fan here, pre-Doom, pre-Wolf AND pre-Keen, and I believe Daikatana's ill-fated unfortunate outcome was from GodGames induced management errors rather than its design.

Pre-Keen? Were you a fan of his when he was still working at Softdisk then?

Also, I agree with you on Daikatana. That game isn't half as bad as people make it out to be and if they played it for a little while (beyond the admittingly off-putting first part) they'd know it.
