Those of us that bought Doom, Doom II, etc, in the 90s funded more than a few Lambos and Ferraris around Dallas. It used to be that if you saw an exotic in town it was probably owned by one of the Id guys; now it's probably Mark Cuban. Saw him in a yellow 'rari on 35 earlier in the year.
Anyhow, one of the Id team was John Carmack. For the past several years he's been heavily involved in amateur rocketry (somewhere in Rockwall?), and it just paid off. $1 million if I understand correctly.
Check out the video. It's not dramatic but it's truly impressive.
Way to go, John. You continue to rock.
I loved that game! I remeber having my first multi-player fps experience with doom and a 14.4 modem. Good Times...
