Happy page 666 everyone! This thread has been active for over four years, and only seems to be gaining in popularity. Well done, game developers from one to two decades ago!

Quake 1 has always had a special place in my heart not only because of the top-notch gameplay, but also because it was the game that started the glory days of modding. I was on the ground floor during Quake 1 DM's heyday. The mods are gone, but I can still play though lots of great SP maps and experience Quake 1's incredible deathmatch with very good bots. It's a shame that Quake 1 is treated more like a lost treasure these days than the groundbreaking and very fun game it is.

There was no blueprint, there was no road map, they were in uncharted territory and it was a combination of phenomenal luck and nearly superhuman talent that made Doom a smashing success.

What I'm getting from all this talk about how Doom was essentially an insanely fortunate accident is that there's a reason that Doom 4 isn't reaching people's expectations: it's being very carefully and intentionally designed.

Quake II was a good game too, though. It wasn't an amazingly groundbreaking game but it was a good solid hunk of old-school FPS. It was really with Doom 3's interminable development cycle that Id went off the rails.

It amuses me that Doom was also the first game GT Interactive published, which instantly made that company ridiculously high profile (they had exclusive publishing deals with Walmart, Target and several other retailers for a while) yet they never managed to turn their insane revenue stream into profits.

It wasn't luck that made them decide to take out Wolf3D's nascent stealth elements because they weren't enjoyable, and it wasn't luck that made them decide to take pruning shears to Tom Hall's Doom Bible, and turn it into a straight action game.

I still remember drinking two two-liters of mountain dew the day Doom full came out. I think I vibrated my way through hell. Pretty sure doing that today would kill me. Oh also, doing a full weekend marathon of Doom MP, to the point where I was seeing and hearing plasma and rocket sounds before, during, and after I went to sleep.

Nowadays studios go into the development process with the Game Design Rules and follow The Rules to make their product.

Two of those 16oz energy drinks from the gas station are more caffeine than that (320mg vs. 309mg, and a couple of years ago it would have been 400-480). Think about that. I remember Rockstar once selling a version that had 320mg in a single can. The effects were...interesting.

I saw someone on Youtube playing Project Brutality, some Brutal Doom mod-mod that adds a bunch of honestly kinda neat stuff, but it would appear that there's some kind of biological looking demon rifle in there. Are there any mods with a lot of weird looking living weapons? Because that sounds cool as Hell (er, no pun intended).

Oh man, it's too bad the awesomeness of Red Faction's break-open breach-loaded railgun can't really be captured in a single image, because that seriously stands out as one of the most satisfying, punchy weapons to use (like the weapons in those images).
