A visit to id Software (November 1993)

This is pretty cool archival footage of the id Software offices in November 1993. For those who don't know, id Software is the game developer that made the iconic first-person shooter game DOOM. The video here shows early employees of id Software as well as a not-yet-finalized version of the DOOM video game which would be released very soon after this video was recorded.

In 1993, Dan Linton, owner of a hugely successful BBS called Software Creations, visited Texas and made his way to id Software. This is the footage he recorded one night in November 1993.
Shown are several of id's employees at the time: Jay Wilbur, Shawn Green, John Romero, Dave Taylor, Sandy Petersen and Adrian Carmack. Bobby Prince was visiting to finish the music and create the sound effects.
This video has 21 minutes of me playing DOOM before the sound effects were put in as well as some early deathmatching with Shawn Green.
