Bobby Prince, the legendary composer behind Doom and Wolfenstein 3D, has died at the age of 81 | Prince helped define the sound which characterized the early FPS, as well as classic PC games like Cat…

Wow, I had no idea he was that old. That means he was in his 40’s already when he worked on all of that which is wild.

Oh, very sad news, big fan of his work, underappreciated maybe. Here’s one of my favourites:

Oh and I was randomly just thinking of this tune the other day:

I’ll stop there because obviously I can’t post everything.

RIP

Very sad news. He’ll be missed.

Looks like he didn’t eat his vege-tab-les.

For the hard of thinking- this is a joke. RIP Bobby.

A legend! RIP

Sweet dreams, our prince.

NEDM.

Doots in chat.

RIP. The Doom soundtrack was incredibly iconic.

Damn, that hits hard. People understandably talk about his tracks for Doom, but for me Duke Nukem 3D’s “Aliens, Say Your Prayers!” (ALIENZ.MID) always takes me back to my youth. Such a banger, thanks for that one Bobby!

There’s very few people of a certain vintage who can’t remember hitting their chosen difficulty, watching the screen melt effect, and listening to the opening riff of E1M1 like it was yesterday.

For what it’s worth, Deep Into The Code is a banger. Civvie11’s Pro Doom opening ident captured the spirit of it wonderfully.

E1M1, when the gun appear, sliding from the bottom on the screen moment.
