Did you know that id made Wolfenstein 3D... before they made Wolfenstein 3D? Join me for a trip through id's early raycasting engines: what a raycaster is, what id made with it, and other daring tales of what happens when you decide to make your own games on company time.

And yes. Once more, we're in the land of EGA DOS games. Please wear the special goggles to prevent long-term eye damage.

Believe it or not, there's a modern source port - which improves the appearance markedly by using a diminished lighting technique similar to later id engines: https://github.com/ArnoAnsems/CatacombGL
