John Romero released a new 9-map episode of Doom But it was 30 years ago today that Doom "invented the modern PC games industry, as a place dominated by technologically advanced action shooters," remembers the Guardian It was a unique moment in time. In the article designer Sandy Petersen remembers that "I would sometimes get old dungeons I'd done for D&D and use them as the basis for making a map in Doom." Cheat codes had been included for debugging purposes — but were left in the game rs to discover. "DOOM is still remembered because of the community that plays and mods it 30 years on. "The Guardian's article notes that now Romero "is currently working on Sigil 2 , a spiritual successor to the original Doom series."
