Romero > Here's the first offical letter written from id Software to Apogee Software detailing our plans to develop the first Commander Keen trilogy. The signatures are: John Romero, John Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur and you'll see we were calling ourself Ideas From The Deep at the very beginning - that was a company that myself and Lane Roathe started in February 1989. IFD is still around today: http://www.ifd.com and Lane Roathe is still operating it!
Romero > The double-res version of the legendary PC version's title screen. Now ITS OWN legend of legends in legend-land.
Romero > Page 4: Advertising and credits. Tom was listed as Managing Editor because he was still at Softdisk while we were making the game (he joined id full-time about 3 months after the start). I think this is the only time at the start of id that Tom's name wasn't listed with ours!
Romero > Page 3: Simple instructions and hints
Romero > Page 2: The Story! This was written by Tom Hall, as was the game design for Dangerous Dave II. We wrote this game after leaving Softdisk and just after starting id Software - it took us 2 months.
Romero > This is the cover of the Gamer's Edge-published PC version of Dangerous Dave II. The artist's name is Ronnie Sapp, The Sappster!
Romero > People Magazine photo.
Romero > In Spear of Destiny (1992), I put a secret screen in the game that could only be reached by a secret keypress in the menu system. The original screen (320x200) is in the upper right-hand corner and it had the subtitle "We're Not Wearing Any Pants!". This picture was taken in the Mesquite, TX id apartment during the same session and was a "crazy shot" we didn't use.
Romero > Here's another id lakehouse pic - this is me and Jay Wilbur in the swimming pool in the backyard. Why was I wearing sunglasses in the pool? They were prescription and I ran out of contact lenses! Heh. This pic is from summer 1990.
Here's the first offical letter written from id Software to Apogee Software detailing our plans to develop the first Commander Keen trilogy.

The signatures are: John Romero, John Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur and you'll see we were calling ourself Ideas From The Deep at the very beginning - that was a company that myself and Lane Roathe started in February 1989.
