Open source of the first games of John Carmack

Some pleasant surprises to predict is simply impossible.

Do you want to look at the source codes of one of the very first 3D games, and even the authorship of the famous game programmer ? You are welcome! Source codes of games such as Catacomb 3-D and Hovertank 3D are offered to your attention. Games were written once were in Borland Turbo Pascal and Borland C ++ 2.0; laid out today under the GPL license.

At one time, Carmack had his hand on Hovertank 3D (considered the first-ever first-person shooter in history). Then there was Catacomb 3D: The Descent (still released Softdisk - but already developed by id Software). Both games were released in 1991, and they didn’t seem to have enjoyed much success. However, in 1992, Wolfenstein 3D thundered, forever changing the world of shooters. Apparently, the opening of the source code is timed to release a new (and surprisingly good) part of this series. If you are interested in learning a little more about the history of these games, you can read my translation .

Roof fact : Catacomb and Doom 3 use the same piece of code .
