Renowned programmer and id Software co-founder John Carmack has taken a trip down memory lane, recording a 20-minute commentary on Wolfenstein 3D. The timing is appropriate, considering today marks the 20th anniversary of the landmark title, which is often credited for kickstarting the FPS genre as we know it.
Carmack’s retrospective provides insight into the design decisions and technical hurdles involved with development. Remember, this was back when games shipped on floppy disks. Well worth a watch. Additionally, for those feeling nostalgic, Bethesda has launched a version of Wolfenstein that runs entirely in your browser.
