Holy shit I remember Pickle Wars. This is the second time I’ve seen that vid of Bobby Prince… the veggies song went into Keen 4… played on several of the levels but most memorable with those involving the Dopefish (Well of Wishes I think).

Booby Prince is the shit. Shame he did not do the music for Quake et al.

Wow, nostalgia overload!!!

I had no idea what a cool guy Bobby Prince is. In retrospect I’m so glad that I ordered the Doom original sound track. That was a real ordeal back then.. ten years ago? Don’t know exactly.

I remember my university days before I had a PC proper and another student showed me Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3D. Wolf3D was subsequently banned here (and still is) in germany. But I was more interested in Commander Keen anyway. :)

a nice surprise to see the guys playing Aladdin at around the same time I was. It had great audio for a Mega Drive game too :)

ludicrous gibs ftw. Many a time I eagerly awaited the berserker health pack to then run around at full speed to punch the baddies :D

“it’s a shame that more games nowdays aren’t as ultra-violent as Doom and other games like it ”

Nexuiz (2009) still use gibs. Download it, and join any server with “railgun only weapons” and you will see it. Its somewhat chessy, IMHO.

And people say video games are violent now? The bodies turn to piles of meat when you shoot them! Now it’s all about ragdolls… it’s a shame that more games nowdays aren’t as ultra-violent as Doom and other games like it (Duke3D and Wolfenstien if I’m not mistaken were like this as well) once were imo. More bits, I say. Always more bits. Corpses just don’t pop open like they used to…

This was the first game I played, and I think it’s a shame that there are basically 0 people making games like it anymore (not talking about the graphics)

ZOMBIES! No, not Doom Zombies, but The Zombies, at 1:20. The Time Of The Season is a truly staggering song… Excellent taste, good sirs! Sounds like someone at iD was listening to Odessey & Oracle…

Nothing to do with games, but it was a high point in the vid for me. :P

“Billy, you’ve got to eat your veg-ta-bles.”

More than DOOM, this video made me nostalgic for Commander Keen, Pickle Wars, and the sound of those old keyboard keys.
