Uh-oh, we already know what punch thinks of people who've never played a Rockstar game; I'd hate to think of the words he'd use to describe someone who's never played Doom.

Doubler 28-10-2005 08:09 PM

I know who he is, even though I'm not a big fan of Doom and the like myself.
Still, he's had a great deal of influence on the games industry, and even if he hadn't: :happybday:
A dancing apple: :apple:

punch999 28-10-2005 08:09 PM

Tom Henrik 28-10-2005 08:16 PM

There... there... punch...

Take a deep breath... relax...

And many thanks!

Heh, I've actually bought Doom2 three times...

Once on floppy but the disks went bust. Then the CD version but lost the CD and now finally the Doom Collector's Edition. So I've actually bought the other Doom's twice!

Happy birthday :kosta:

Rogue 29-10-2005 02:27 AM

We had a rule not to congratulate B-Days to non active members?

And doom who? Duke Nukem all the way! :bleh: :tomato:

Not to be rude: Happy B-Day!

moogle 29-10-2005 04:12 AM

George Romero owns John Romero.....
;)
Actually...I'd say its a tie....

allyfaucet 29-10-2005 06:33 AM

I played Doom3 once. Let's just say if zombies came here, I'd be the first to die :P

I thought I was opening the door and I shot out the lights! :whistle:
Not too good at Doom, but it sure was a scary game!

Happy Birthday Mr. Romero! :D :Brain:

moogle 29-10-2005 06:35 AM

Doom3 looks creepy to be honest...but, did Romero have anything to do with it? Didn't he leave after like Doom2? Or something? Now is Carmack I think...(always getting them confused LOL)

The original is pretty fun, I think I have a demo of it lying around somewhere (parents had to throw out old copy...><)

wendymaree 29-10-2005 11:00 AM

Happy Birthday, John! :happybday:

Coincidentally, I'm just watching a TV commercial for the new Doom movie as I type.

I know it's your birthday, but I'd like to make an unbirthday wish for a fantasy adventure game that's enchanting, original, gentle and powerful. :whistle:

Have a fantastic day. :party:

Oberon 29-10-2005 11:57 AM

guts... who is this guy? never heard of him.. i always thought that this other guy ehm.. John Carmack was the man behind the doom series..
well i guess i'm not very familiar to the ID branch..

anyway, H@ppy B-Day Romero

Sebatianos 29-10-2005 12:31 PM

Sorry I'm a bit late, but :party: :happybday: :cheers: John!

John Romero did the first 2 DOOM games, then he goes and hires John Carmack, who does the rest of them. After hiring John Carmack Romero moves on and co founds Ion Storm. Inc and makes Daikanta...

Anyways Happy B day! :cheers:
