DOOM Developed on NeXT Hardware and Software

 

This picture was taken during DOOM development in 1993. Tom's busy working on a map in my map editor, DoomEd,
but don't worry - you won't be able to make out anything on the screen! Tom started many of the original DOOM maps
and after he left, Sandy Petersen finished them -- some of the maps had very little work done to them, in fact.

On Tom's monitor is a little printout that says, "Quality". He always has notes stuck to his monitor to keep him reminded
of .... things. That orange thing could very well be the very first keyboard wrist pad -- made by a friend of his back before you
saw them in stores. The speaker at the far right is one of the first Altec Lansing clamshell models. The microphone in front
of Tom was there for NeXTSTEP's awesome email feature - built-in voice emails! We always sent them back and forth... I think
I might have some of them lying around here...
