It's Doom.

It's literally a photo of id software devs. You can tell by John Romero's glorious mane.

Doom 1 and Doom 2016 are in this picture.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

How big was the team for 2016?

[-] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Ah, so it was. That era is pretty much all blurred together in my mind.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 38 points 4 days ago

Video games changed so much during the 90s. I feel like this describes a single year.

[-] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 15 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Soundtracks have always been fire though. I still have the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, Red Alert soundtrack, Sim City 3000, etc in my playlist.

I still listen to this music when working. Puts me right in the mood

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Maybe if the book was eight times taller

[-] jonathan@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days ago

The book is from the game and actually only has 2 pages in it.

Nobuo Uematsu carried hard with his music. Squeenix hasn't been the same since he left the company

[-] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Completely agree. That being said, they still have Masayoshi Soken, and he is easily in the top 3 modern Video Game Composers.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

So much of my emotional investment in FFXIV is enhanced by the music, especially in Endwalker.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Optimal game dev size.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

About the majestic soundtrack of Doom: That's why it's still my ringtone.

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Counterpoint, some 90s games like Half-Life had a pretty good story

[-] yabai@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I think the meme is suggesting most games had a decent story. Not Game of Thrones level, but a decent 200 page book.

[-] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 days ago

Crusader: No Remorse

MechWarrior 2, especially Ghost Bear's Legacy

Descent 1 + 2

Dungeon Keeper 2

Unreal 2

Populous

Prince of Persia series

Donkey Kong Country had like. One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Game was really hard towards the end too. One of my fav games of all time.

Doom could apply here too. ID was very much a small studio of dorks with a limited budget.

[-] Delta_V@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Come on Lemmy.

Its been 23 hours since this got posted.

How has Chrono Trigger not already been mentioned?

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

Because Chrono Trigger's story is more like three bibles stacked. Not a flimsy novella.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I thought that had a good memorable story?

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

Ultima Online, for sure. Anyone who says the Minoc theme song isn't banging is drunk and on drugs

I still remember playing the Colin McRae rally demo on PS1 for the first time in 1998 or 1999 and seeing the Impreza WRX get mud splatters on it's sides in real time while drifting through the Scottish highlands. There have been few if any as awe inspiring gaming moments since, maybe the original Gran Turismo replay graphics.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

I don't remember this game much, but the sound track is a banger
