Commander Keen in Goodbye, Galaxy! for MS-DOS PC (by id Software/Apogee/1991) is considered a landmark title in PC gaming and consists of 2 episodes (Secret of the Oracle & The Armageddon Machine). A 3rd episode was planned, but then Wolfenstein 3D happened, and the rest is history.

🙏A tribute to Bobby Prince (1945 - 2026) Bobby Prince (full name: Robert Caskin Prince III) was an American video game composer and sound designer, best known for his iconic work with Apogee Software (later 3D Realms) and id Software in the 1990s. He created music and sound effects for many classic PC games, especially those published by Apogee or developed by id Software: id Software titles: Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, Doom, Doom II. Apogee/3D Realms titles: Duke Nukem II, Duke Nukem 3D, Blake Stone, Rise of the Triad. His Doom soundtrack is especially legendary. It blended heavy metal/hard rock influences (inspired by bands like Black Sabbath, Pantera, and Alice in Chains) with the technical limits of early PC audio. Tracks like "E1M1 (At Doom's Gate)" became hugely influential and were even added to the U.S. Library of Congress National Recording Registry in 2026. Play the video to listen to it once more. He was one of the most important figures in early first-person shooter and shareware gaming audio; his work helped define the sound of the 1990s PC gaming golden age. Rest in peace 🙏

There was a time PC games couldn’t sidescroll like consoles. Then John Carmack cracked the code, Tom Hall recreated Mario 3 with Dangerous Dave, and id Software was born. Soon after, Apogee’s Scott Miller discovered them… and PC gaming changed forever with Commander Keen.

This is a Tom Hall appreciation post. The producer, director, and creative force behind Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad, and more. Without him, the gaming world wouldn’t be the same.

Imagine having two titles in your portfolio that are dubbed the "grandfather" and "father" of FPS games. And to then go full circle and end it with yet another iconic hit. id Software brought us Wolfenstein 3D (1992), the grandfather of FPS games. Then followed it up only a year later in 1993 with Doom, widely considered the father of all modern FPS games, due to its massive popularity, multiplayer deathmatch, and modding community - and defining the genre's mainstream popularity to this day. And if that wasn't enough, they gave us Quake in 1996. If there was ever a studio to not just create a genre but then to also dominate it for years and years, the vote would have to go to id Software, no? Sierra for adventures. MicroProse for simulations. id Software for FPS. Blizzard (or Westwood?) for RTS.

Indiana is the greatest turn around in sports history. They are a school and fanbase ($$) that was ready for it, but even with all of that considered it’s unthinkable what’s happened in such a short period of time.

Wolfenstein 3D (Apogee/id Software, 1992) features some of the most iconic and funny speech snippets in gaming history. "Ein Schweinhund" — loosely "Pig Dog"; correct spelling: "Ein Schweinehund" with an extra "e". German pronunciation would differ then. "Nein" — most common word for English-speakers wanting to sound German. Love it! They still do it in movies to this day! "Eva, auf Wiedersehen" — Eva, goodbye. Not performed by native speakers; id developers like John Romero and Tom Hall mangled pronunciations, creating the iconic garbled, comical effect (e.g., "Schutzstaffel!" unrecognizable to Germans, which I can confirm). Bobby Prince (composer) and Scott Miller (Apogee founder, as Mecha-Hitler) contributed voices, too. This DIY approach fitted 1992 shareware constraints and added some extra charm, per Sandy Petersen (ex-id contractor). Some outrage in German press (and to a degree on government level, hilarious) led to the game's indexing (banning) over "Hitler" stuff; too much for the faint-hearted public, I guess. It made us want to play it even more - and we did, of course. This is truly a piece of gaming history from the golden era.
