This paper has 12 authors, which fascinates me to no end for some unexplainable reason. How does it work? Is it a common occurrence to have this many people working on a submission? Did each of them get at least a paragraph in edgewise?

Novalogic's one weird trick was using voxel terrains as much as possible, like Comanche or the Delta Force series. I'm not sure if "Black Hawk Down" still had a voxel level or if they have changed the secret recipe at th

Volkov Commander should get an honorable mention here, it is a tiny reimplementation of the NC interface. On the FAR Manager level of complexity DOS Navigator is also notable.

"Shearing" was added for up-down look in Heretic, for the non-Doom engine descendants Duke Nukem 3D and Rise of The Triad supported it as well. I don't remember if it could be bound to mouse movement in any of these games.

The timer interrupt could also do the loading: - maintain a, say, ring buffer :) for I/O commands (operation, file handle, offset, buffer address, callback address) - add requests to the buffer from the game loop - timer wakes up perio
