To celebrate id Software’s 35th birthday, @johnromero.bsky.social produced a great mini-doc on the making of Catacomb 3D (1991) – and it really illustrates just how foundational this game was for their later, more influential first person shooter work: youtu.be/ZcUqwMf01pI?...

Looking for some retro gaming holiday cheer? Check out my compilation of Sierra On-Line's Christmas card demos from 1986 through 1992. When I came downstairs on Christmas morning as a 9 year old, my first computer (a Tandy 1000 EX) was under the tree with the 1986 version playing on a loop. 🎄

Who played Earthsiege games or the original Tribes?
Dynamx and Sierra Online first took a stab at the increasingly popular mech sim genre in 1994: Metaltech: Earthsiege.
Two years later, Earthsiege 2 was released, followed by a slew of games all set within the same universe, including one of the online FPS darlings of 1999-2000: Starsiege: Tribes.
