🙏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 🙏

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.

Happy 35th anniversary, Duke! Duke Nukem was released on July 1, 1991. From humble beginnings to global pop culture icon! We didn't know it at the time, but Duke would continue his adventures in Duke Nukem 3D in 1996 and conquer the world! Hail to the king, baby!

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.

Guten Tag, you Allied Schweinhund. Exactly 34 years ago today, Wolfenstein 3D was unleashed on the world. The mangled bits of pseudo-German (Mein Leben!) made this game an instant classic. I always thought it added even more smiles for native German speakers, because the digitized speech snippets were just so hilariously nonsensical. In retrospect, thank God they didn't use native speakers for the German sound bits… we wouldn’t have the same epic memories of it today! Unloading on Hitler with a Gatling gun at the end - Wolfenstein 3D is pure early 90s gold!

Do you remember the very first game you played via LAN? Not an internet multiplayer game, but the old school way of setting up a local network with friends. Duke Nukem 3D was the first game I ever played in a LAN setting. Those game sessions were absolutely legendary. And they required quite some preparation and effort! Dragging an 17" monitor, heavy-ass tower, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and cables was quite a sight - especially on public transport. I got some of the weirdest looks back then. The stares from the older generation were priceless, they probably thought "teenagers today are strange". Duke Nukem 3D had excellent graphics (for its time), epic sound effects, legendary weapons, and a total badass vibe which made it truly emblematic of 90s gaming. Feels like a different lifetime to be honest. I know people will argue today's tech and games are better, faster, and smoother but early LAN sessions can't be topped by better tech. It was a wonderful experience and I am glad for the memories - even they include us having to fiddle around with settings and cables for hours before we even fired the first shot.

A test of real-time transfer of images captured on Quest to a PC, where they are converted into 3D using Apple's SHARP. Currently, the final 3DGS output is displayed on the PC. The next step is to bring the result back into Quest for in-headset viewing. #3DGS #metaquest #AR
