ROME.RO Mega Photo Gallerytron : Popular Photos : This picture was taken during DOOM development in 1993. This is the DOOM chainsaw sitting in a bucket, ready to be scanned by Kevin to create the image of the chainsaw in DOOM. The reason it's in a bucket is because it leaked oil! That's also why there's newspapers all around it. :) Heh heh, yes, the name of the chainsaw was Eager Beaver. The little Post-It Note next to the chainsaw says "Borrowed from Ann Graver Holz". Ann was Tom Hall's girlfriend at the time and since she had a chainsaw (Most of us apartment-dwellers did not own a chainsaw!), she let Tom borrow it. Tom, um, forgot to give it back to her.....so........it's still around. Tom is going to do something with it, probably sometime this year!

Romero > This is looking down the hall on one side of the office. The other hall is on the other side of the building.

Romero > This is the great Bobby Prince, our music composer between 1991-1994. He did the music for Commander Keen 4, 5, 6, Catacomb 3D, Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, DOOM, DOOM II. In this picture you can see Bobby at id's apartment office during the summer of 1992, working on the music for Wolf3D and Spear of Destiny. This picture is probably from the month of June. The computer he's using in the pic is a 386/33. Heh.

Bobby shipped a ton of his equipment to the office. You can't see the rack he has full of stuff, just off-camera. He was just awesome to work with. Before doing music, Bobby was a lawyer for a long time.

If you want to hear more of Bobby's music, just play Duke Nukem 3D - half the music in that game is his. And it's excellent stuff as well - I listen to it almost every day still.
