rome.ro > popular all-time > This picture was taken during DOOM development in 1993. Tom's busy working on a map in my map editor, DoomEd,
but don't worry - you won't be able to make out anything on the screen! Tom started many of the original DOOM maps
and after he left, Sandy Petersen finished them -- some of the maps had very little work done to them, in fact.

On Tom's monitor is a little printout that says, "Quality". He always has notes stuck to his monitor to keep him reminded
of .... things. That orange thing could very well be the very first keyboard wrist pad -- made by a friend of his back before you
saw them in stores. The speaker at the far right is one of the first Altec Lansing clamshell models. The microphone in front
of Tom was there for NeXTSTEP's awesome email feature - built-in voice emails! We always sent them back and forth... I think
I might have some of them lying around here...

Uhhmmmmm.....it looks like a prison...
rome.ro > popular all-time > The is one of the "legendary" letters that Scott Miller (CEO of 3D Realms; back then Apogee Software) wrote me trying to get me to contact him so we could work together.
You'll see he changed his name at the end of the letter because he was paranoid that Softdisk would be screening all mail that was delivered to their employees to prevent poaching.
The reason Scott wanted to contact me is because he saw my PC game Pyramids of Egypt (which was a conversion from the 1985 Apple // version) published on Big Blue Disk and wanted to know if I would do a derivative of that game for him to publish.
He wrote a few more of these kinds of crazy letters before I contacted him (one of them said, "Please write back! I'm 65 years old!" LOL!)
