For those of you wondering what is going on when I pass in front of the monitors at the end, here is a video on my second channel that explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqOoY-o-j-Q Spoiler, it's just color processing to make the CRTs easier to see.
-
Had no idea this was possible, hell yeah dude! Brilliant to see this going on that small CRT army.
-
As a 50 year old, this video made me very very happy and nostalgic. I used to work for Ericsson in 1994 in Ireland. We used to play this till the wee hours of the morning on the corporate LAN between 2 different towns (Athlone & Dublin) We were in awe, well at least until Quake arrived.
-
I feel like this is a once in a lifetime experience. There can’t be more than a dozen people that actually got this to work like this.
-
with three CRT monitors arranged in a circle beaming at you, that’s almost a complete radiotherapy unit
-
This feels like Carmack being Carmack knew that multi monitor gaming would be the future, he used a 1080p CRT monitor to code Quake back in 1995 after all, but the hardware in the 90's didn't yet allow for it to be possible on a single machine, so he came up with this convoluted way of accomplishing it just for fun, because Carmack.
-
This would have been the most sick setup on the planet, imagine how legendary it would be to see someone with this set up at a LAN way back then
-
Imagine having 4 projectors set up in a room, each facing a different wall, and you do this same kind of setup. It would be like the ultimate VR experience!
-
I did it back in the day! I didn't have 3 computers on my own, but I remain at the office after hours and rearranged the desks to place the left and righ monitors facing me at the sides, so by turning my head I was seeing their image the way it was supposed to, perpendicular to the front monitor. Room lights turned off, it was super immersive.
-
All the mess, the tablecloth, the non matching shelves, the yellowing cases...every bit of it has me crying. This is just beautiful nostalgia. No one today can possibly appreciate how much work this took (not to mention working on these for a living).
-
So as a 22 year old in 1993 I would have totally gone crazy over this build. Now, I can only look back at the younger me's enthusiasm for this level of nerdtech and reminisce about those days. Thanks for bringing them back again!
-
Being a 40 year old man having been lucky enough to always have computers in our home growing up, this made my inner child/nerd so unbelievably satisfied. Amazing job getting this all synchronized! Who knew Doom could do this?!
-
You saved a friend's project! Networking two original retro DOS PCs together to play DooM in multiplayer Co-op. We didnt get BNC working so we replicated your steps with the Ethernet ports. The magic ingredient was the net.cfg config file, setting them both to 802.3 for IPX. Thank you so much!
-
Dude, back in the day you would have been the absolute coolest kid in town to have had something like this going. This is awesome.
-
Remember when you were defined by your relationship to duraga1, man you have come far!
-
The unrestrained joy and literally vibrating energy the man had when it was working was a wonderful thing to see.
-
2:10 I love how "virtual reality" meant something completely different in the 90's
-
Seeing Shelby waiting with a massive smile on his face while each PC starts up is just incredibly endearing
-
Back around 1994 I set up three monitor Doom in one of our computer labs at my High School. Thanks for the memories.
-
Watching him flawlessly use both keyboards at the same time, was truly beautiful
