dec 10, 1993 - DOOM
Description:
Just six months after the release of Wolfenstein 3D, Carmack and their group of death metal punk-loving geeks have gone on to deliver an FPS that will go down in history: DOOM.More refined mapping rendering technology, more bloody and more violent graphics expressiveness, sophisticated level design, and crisp shooting feel, after DOOM was completed, Carmack put it on his alma mater's website, and instantly the site's visits exploded and the server once crashed.
Death Mode was first introduced in Doom. It was the most popular multiplayer mode later in FPS games and is one of E-sports' origins.
DOOM sold a staggering 3.05 million copies that year alone, allowing ID software to achieve over $100 million in revenue.
At the same time, Carmack has once again made a great attempt - modularizing all file structures, which makes it possible for third parties to develop custom game mods.
