How did we get Doom? A quick history of the iconic 3d-shooter on Doom’s 25th anniversary

Comedian and author, Steve McNeil, known to some in the UK as one of the team captains from Dave’s Go 8-Bit, has put together this quick video documentary on the history of Doom.

McNeil, who now regularly streams on Twitch, has a book coming out in April called Hey! Listen!: A journey through the golden era of video games .

Unofficial Doom sequel

McNeil isn’t the only one talking about Doom on the game’s 25th birthday. John Romero, one of the games co-creators, has been working on a little treat for everyone; an unofficial spiritual successor.

The new content isn’t out yet, expected in February 2019, but it will have music created by Buckethead and so will be worth waiting for!
