I didn’t think I’d care, but CrunchGear just posted about the death of Don Ivan Punchatz, the artist behind the original DOOM video game box, and it sorta made me a bit sad.
DOOM was one of the first PC games I ever played and I can recall seeing this image every time I launched the game. And now the man who subconsciously told me that it was ok to shoot aliens is dead. It’s weird to think that DOOM is more than 15 years old.
