"This thing can play doom?"

Playing quake in my university time, I always had the suspicion that some players had this game hardwired into their brains...
 
This brings back some sweet memories.

I will always remember the feeling. I started Doom - on an IBM Thinkpad - and accidentally touched the TrackPoint stick. My mind just exploded when I saw what was happening on the screen.

Some years later when Carmack had released the source into the open and I read that Susy Deffeyes from IBM had ported Quake to AIX I actually tried to port Doom to AIX as well but didn't find the time to finish it. It ran but had alot of issues left to be fixed. Since I had to move on to other things I put a tarball of aixdoom on the ftp archive at funet.fi and forgot about it. It was really fun to try and understand how Carmack had done it.
