Escape From Mount Stupid: id Software

i want Doom 4!!

Doom II. Never gets old.

that's why i love good games today that most people underestimate. even games rated under 5. why? when i think what games i've played when i was a kid, i can only hope for a great playtime. but we must not let our guard down, cause once we tell developers they do great jobs they'll stop progressing.

Doom 4 i hope to god will be EPIC! Go ID!

While many of you hate it, Quake Wars is actually one of my favorite shooters.

I always like to see Id as very similar to the Roman Empire. They grew big by using some insanely innovative ideas that proved nearly flawless in practice. But then, they grew too big and eventually lost interest in maintaining their greatness. Eventually they crashed and startet tumbling down, gradually floating farther and farther into obscurity. Now they can't even make a half-decent, original game with some new ideas and/or impressive technical aspects. And don't tell me Rage had mindblowing graphics. I can name ten other games released recently that has just as good-looking graphics as Rage. You couldn't do that when you compared games to Wolfenstein, Doom or Quake. Nowadays, Id is one of the game-studios that struggle the most keeping up with the modern gaming industry. The only one that was worse at keeping up, was 3D Realms. And we all know how THAT turned out...

i still like and play quake 2 and doom 3. they are awesome. quake 3 was good 2.

doom 3 is probably my favourite game to date

Final DOOM on PS!

I LOVED Commander Keen!

It must obviously be QUAKE. Why? - the first real 3D shooter - spawned Team Fortress, the basis for all real MP games today - made Half-Life possible, which spawned CounterStrike

quake 2 > any of today's FPS

quake 3 arena > any call of duty game

doom who started all doom>halo

DooM, DooM 2 - i have played them I don't know how much times and hours, and then came DooM 3. I did play it recently too. Yes the best id games are DooM series.

@ Son_Jazrin I know but we don't give a s*it about consoles, they too know the truth.

doom 3 is best So far , rage leaves you wondering what happens next , the game is too short . but still a good game.

I was a HUGE fan of Heretic. Loved the maps, enemies, weapons and overall atmosphere. Gauntlets + Tome of Power = WIN!

@foojam I gotta agree with ya there, but console fanatics won't.

Wolfenstein 3D was not actually the first first-person shooter. It was preceded by earlier games like Maze Wars, Hovertank 3D, and Catacomb 3D. Wolfenstein 3D did help to popularise the genre though, and to establish some of its characteristics.

PC is the king, kick consoles in the butt, they deserve it.

Wow. You sure like assigning iD a lot of first this and that which they were not the first of.

Great memories! I remember being scared out of my wits by the Cyberdemons in Doom 2. I also sold 5 Saturn games so I could buy Quake 2. I then had to do the 25mb install as I only had a 850mb HD! Apart from Doom and Wolfenstein 3D I still have all of the other games with original boxes.

Quake 3! God that game was awsome! I always played as the little eye thing with legs called 'Orb' :D

oh my fault favorite Id shooter is DOOM 3!!!

I like Rage But I want DOOM 4 with Id Tech 5!!! HELL YEAH!!!

"Obey_by_the_Law Posted Oct 11, 2011 10:31 am GMT ID Software made really great games! Even though I Love Doom and the Quake series! Hexen is still one of my favorite classics by them!" They didn't make Hexen, just licensed the Doom engine. Same with Hexen II and the Quake engine. On another note, cheers Danny for speaking from a PC gamer perspective on this one! My favorite are the first two Dooms, though admittedly I talk about Doom 3 the most to non-gamers whenever the topic of 'Horror movies' come up. Because I can never be scared of a movie again after playing that game!

doom no question

ah Doom 3 was my fave so far. After grinding countless hours on single player I then discovered the Last Man Standing mod which adds coop campaign and lots of other coop missions. I still play it now :)

ID Software made really great games! Even though I Love Doom and the Quake series! Hexen is still one of my favorite classics by them!

Quake (and Quakeworld) .. Definitely the best multiplayer game.

My favorite ID game was Doom3 until I found Rage. Doom 3 scared me more than any game I've ever played (it was the soundtrack). But for all out kick ass fun? Its gotta be Rage

good things die hard and id is one of them bravo to Danny for this awsom vid i take my hat off for you man still have its first releases and have played every game except quake 2, the new wolfenstein and quake 1(most of it) cant wait for doom 4 and if rage comes to my country i would buy it, and i would buy next gen consoles just for doom 4, cous its worth it

Doom, Wolfenstein and Duke Nukem were THE games that made me nag my parrents to death into buying me a pc. At school we used to play Quake on LAN, when the teacher wasn't looking -rocket jump anyone? Quake 3 was the sole reason why i bought a Voodoo opengl videocard (well thet and Carmageddon, but that's off topic). What do i think of Rage? Well it's pure crap. Sorry boys, but this game is awfull - graphics clip in and out and the dialogue stutters. I tried to fix them, but after a hefty 3 hours on the forum, modifying .cfgs, creating extra dirrectories, running steam commands, I just realised it would be easier to teach a monkey to disarm a bomb then an average gamer to configure Rage.

Love these features. "Research yo"

Absolutely excellent video. Growing up I never had the money to buy any new games. You better believe I played the living hell out of the Doom 1 first chapter. One of the best and most entertaining games I have ever played in my life. I really appreciate this video history. I do not plan on buying rage, especially after my loss of faith sense Doom 3, I still have great respect for ID for giving me many years of use out of my 166mhz gateway 2000 pc.

Never been a big FPS fan but more Bluffer's Guides please!!

Definitely Quake is my fav id Software game of all time. Countless hours playing Quake and Team Fortress mod.

I remember playing doom back in the day substituting the in game music for white zombie la sexorcisto devil music vol 1. its a perfect combination and made the game so much more awesome. Try it and you'll see what I mean.

Feels... like home.

Woflenstien 3-D got me into computer gaming...I remember peeing my pants to the blue guys yelling, playing past midnight on my old 486...

Quake (Quakeworld)... spent an unbelievable number of hours playing online and cursing the LPBs.

I still have doom 3 and I'm ready to play it again. Rage is one to get despite what ever flaws. At least it's not a FO: New Vegas

This guide is wonderful! It was interesting to learn some new to me facts. Thanks, Danny! I remember playing Doom when I was little... Didn't even have any speakers, but still it was great! And those eyes on the hero's face - left-right-left-right - cool! :) Present games are beautiful, inventive, exciting and interesting... But they will never stir up the same feelings I had, when chainsawing those ugly pinky bull demons.

Doom got me hooked on computer gaming. Probably spent more hours in deathmatch modem to modem with a friend than any other game. Had to buy a second phone line to be able to talk on one and fight on other. Could have caused a divorce I loved it so much. Just bought Rage for PC and am enjoying it....had to buy a Xbox controller for my PC as vehicle combat is such a huge part of this game that you HAVE to be able to control your driving more precisely than with arrow keys on keyboard. I don't know why they coudn't have made it where you could control left/right movement in vehicles with your mouse. I am enjoying it....graphics are great...not the feeling I got with Doom though.

got many games from id software: doom, quake, hexen (as publisher), heretic (as publisher) and of course wolfenstein. the spear of destiny is great. doom 3 scared the sh#t out of me. my pc gets old... so no chance to try rage i guess.

ps1 = best doom conversion ever

I Love all ID releases, so many memories - countless hours of a gameplay with friends and solo. What's in the past stays in the past. I'm looking into the future when I'll be playing Doom 4, probably on a next gen. console :)

When i got ps1, one of the first game i had was quake 2. I was afraid to play this game, because it was very dark and the game sounds was terrifying to me, so my dad played it. I liked just to watch how my dad was playing it. Quake 2 is the most memorable game to me :)
