John Romero's Games
From RomeroWiki
Here is an extensive list of all the games that John Romero has worked on. John has programmed these games on the Apple II, Commodore 64, PC (DOS & Windows), Atari Jaguar, SNES, Pocket PC, GameBoy Advance and N-Gage.
In addition to these games, John has also written almost as many tools on various platforms both for game development or as stand-alone utilities that have been published. The most useful tool John has written is TED 5.0, a tile-based level editor that has been used to design 33 published games. A eulogy to TED 5.0 was written by Tom Hall and published on the Extreme Rise of the Triad CD. ROTT is a great game by John's longtime buddy Tom Hall.
John has founded/cofounded seven game studios to date. They are Capitol Ideas Software (founder), Inside Out Software, Ideas From The Deep, id Software, Ion Storm, Monkeystone Games, Slipgate Ironworks, and a new social game company named Loot Drop.
