VentureBeat: Hell returns as id Software’s John Carmack builds Doom Classic for the iPhone

    Good interview. Amazing that John Carmack has such a intimate role in development almost 20 years after he founded the company. Reading that he was the sole guy behind getting Doom Classic on the iPhone is inspiring.

    Definitely one of my heroes while growing up and still today.

    When my son hears about this he is probably going to regret that he has a Blackberry and not an iPhone. He played Wolfenstein for hours at a time when it came out on the Mac.The iPhone is such a big player in the gaming industry now. You can't have as much fun or get anywhere near the use out of other hand-held devices as you can with what Apple has provided.

    Love this article, it's great to hear it from the hip from someone going deep on building games on the iPhone. And that they are still feeling around on things like how to price and define business models even given their relatively large size.
