But we might not have Doom.
- rangibaby 11y agoI can see that, considering Nintendo's puritan stance on violence etc.
- alricb 11y agoIt's true that Nintendo had a puritan attitude, but I would note Doom was ported to the SNES, with blood, gore and inverted crosses; the port was released in September 1995: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Super_NES http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Super_NES
- rangibaby 11y agoThe SNES had a pretty bad history of censorship, eg. Mortal Kombat and Wolfenstein 3D, which were both playable but kind of pointless (no blood and censored fatalities in MK, no blood, dogs, or Nazi symbols in Wolfenstein). They relented somewhat after the introduction of ESRB ratings in 1994.
- trothamel 11y agoWe might, though. I mean, this code was commercialized as Commander Keen, wasn't it? And the same team then went on to make Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake. So there's no reason why this couldn't have been the first item in that sequence of things.
