Not everyone knows that id software made an FPS before their smash hit of Wolfenstein 3D. It's rough around the edges, but still an important part of history.

Wow! I had never heard of these. Funny because the gentleman in the video assumes we have already played them all even. I'm just glad to be caught up! You can definitely tell in the last game they have several elements of Doom, including expanding the locales to time periods other than medieval. Great video! Thanks for the post.
