Things might be tough for PC gamers this year, as prices continue to rise on everything from memory modules to graphics cards.

In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Doom developer id Software’s founding, co-founder John Romero has released a video retrospective on one of id’s most unsung games: Catacomb 3-D.
