Every year another Doom birthday rolls by and reminds me of the same thing: I never actually launched the project I started five years ago with @textfiles.com Today, I finally fix that.

That is very cool. Did you see this other type of DoomScroll? gisnep.com/doomscroll/

The community has built so much over the years, and there's no question that Doom has had a lasting influence on the game industry as we know it today. Many of today's industry veterans cut their teeth making mods for Doom, and you can see some of their work here.

There's so much stuff here - everything from simplistic maps made by kids just learning how game development works, all the way up through full total conversions with all-new music, textures, and sprites, made by volunteer teams that went on to become full-fledged game studios.

So if you're going to be doomscrolling today, at least make it a journey through decades of community creativity that helped shaped gaming as we know it. Maybe something you made is in here? doomscroll.cx
