One of the best games ever made in my opinion. Top 5 for me.

Easily. And as a sequel it came out only 10 months after the first one.

Oh god am just waiting for the “British museum stole it” brigade.

Holy hell, Adrian Carmack must have been the first to sign. His autograph takes up a quarter of the disc!

Great, now I have images in my head of Brits in tropical uniforms storming into the id Software HQ in Texas, clubbing everyone and stealing the CD.

Or the last to sign and had to fill in all that empty real estate.

The blue gamecube above it was also used for the first lego star wars

I saw the blue gamecube also the red one

There is also the Home Computer Museum in Helmond, Netherlands which is more of a general computer museum but does have the largest collection of game boxes in the world.

Wtf, in Sheffield? That's next door to me, how have I not heard of this?
kriskirby86 OP t1_iufhpi3 wrote
It's been there a while it's right in the middle of the city centre
roguerose t1_iufiica wrote
Ive been meaning to go there for a while, defo on my wish list as a Donny lad.
kriskirby86 OP t1_iufimzv wrote
They have some great stuff and tons of arcade machines
TG-Sucks t1_iufmlpb wrote
Do you know if the disc still works? Aren’t they all destined to eventually degrade? Some of my game discs from the mid 90’s started to become corrupted already after ten years or so.
JamieDB95 t1_iufmt0i wrote
Must admit I have no idea.
We have plenty of disks from that period that do work but that one is very precious too us so I can't imagine it even leaving the case
roguerose t1_iufn5yk wrote
i might never leave.
kriskirby86 OP t1_iufnhxl wrote
Its 11 quid to get in but all the arcades are free and you can stay all day

I've still got my shareware floppy of Doom... and Wolfenstine.

Why do I feel the need to own this for my own collection!!?
Is this how Art collectors feel?!

CD's can last for decades or even centuries if kept in good condition. I still have actual floppy disks from the 80's and 90's that read just fine and they deteriorate much faster.

It's well known that programmers have the tiniest writing.

If I were JC I would have made a funny by just blacking out the V on the disc and calling the remaining letters my signature, but Bobby already stole that joke from me by signing over the letters.

Sheffield City Centre :)

Because it's a pet peeve of mine:
Something can't be "highly" unique. Unique is a binary state, it is or is not unique. On or off, there are no degrees of uniqueness. Highly unusual? Sure. Extremely rare? That too. Very unique? Nope.
Normally, I'd seethe with internet annoyance quietly to myself, but I expect better from a museum.
JamieDB95 t1_iuh8v30 wrote
I'll pass it on to the team :)
But most museums are full of spelling/grammar mistakes, easy to miss when you have hundreds of bits out

There's also the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, which is the home of the World Video Game Hall of Fame.
555886 t1_iui323y wrote
Because it would be seen as a collectors item. It's in an actual museum and is the master copy of one of the most known video games of all time. Maybe that's why you would want it for your collection, just maybe.
