In the inaugural episode of Shacknews' Dev Chat series of conversations with game developers, Doom 64 composer Aubrey Hodges discusses his background in music, his experience with Doom, and more.

Developer Midway wanted to do something different than previous ports on consoles such as the Super NES and PlayStation, and Doom 64 fit that bill.

ON DECEMBER 10, 1993, ID Software's developers uploaded Doom to a high-speed file-sharing server maintained by an IT administrator who oversaw University of Wisconsin's network.
