John Carmack: Why Was Doom Developed on a NeXT?
- tgarma1234 10y agoWell yes the comment about spending 10 or 15K on a computer wasn't that big of deal was certainly true. A sun Sparc in 1995 with awesome specs would cost you vastly more... and by awesome specs we are talking "256 megabytes of RAM, a 4 gigabyte hard disk, and 20-inch monitor. It costs $59,995."
