Today someone on Reddit noticed John Romero's Vimeo channel hosts footage recorded by Dan Linton (owner of the Software Creations BBS) during a visit to id Software in 1993, while the studio was makingDoom.
The roughly 31-minute clip appears to have been online for about a decade, but if you haven't yet seen it it's well worth a watch to get a sense of what id Software (and game development in general) was like in the '90s.
The latter half of the clip also has lots of footage of pre-release Doom being played with placeholder sound effects, replete with commentary and guidance from a vintage '93 Romero.
For more recent perspective from Romero, check out his 2016 reflections on the programming principles he learned at id Software.
