Id Tech - Doom Engine

Doom Engine

Sometimes known as id Tech 1 (Not to be confused with the Quake engine, which can also be referred to as id Tech 1), is the game engine that powers the id Software games Doom and Doom II. It was created by John Carmack, with auxiliary functions written by Mike Abrash, John Romero, Dave Taylor and Paul Radek. Originally developed on NeXT computers, it was ported to MS-DOS for Doom's initial release and was later ported to several game consoles and operating systems.

Famous quotes containing the words doom and/or engine:

    More Safe, and much more modest ‘tis, to say
    God wou’d not leave Mankind without a way:
    And that the Scriptures, though not every where
    Free from Corruption, or intire, or clear,
    Are uncorrupt, sufficient, clear, intire,
    In all things which our needfull Faith require.
    If others in the same Glass better see
    ‘Tis for Themselves they look, but not for me:
    For MY Salvation must its Doom receive
    Not from what OTHERS, but what I believe.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    There is a small steam engine in his brain which not only sets the cerebral mass in motion, but keeps the owner in hot water.
    —Unknown. New York Weekly Mirror (July 5, 1845)
