You mean battlezone 2000? That was an amazing game, I felt the same way. So unique and afaik no one every did anything like that.

This is all a good point, but for perspective on Carmack, he started out YOUNG. He was creating successful, quality games by the time he was 19. I would say that qualifies as "starting out" much much better than average.

Reply to comment by kingoftheplebsIII in TIL that Al Pacino boycotted the 45th academy awards in 1973, because despite having more screen time than Marlon Brando, he was nominated for best supporting actor and not best actor. by VengefulMight
Brando is decomposing while Pacino still walks the earth, so I'm not sure you're correct.
