Bobby Prince passed away on June 16, aged 81. He composed the soundtracks to DOOM, Wolfenstein 3D, Duke Nukem 3D, and Commander Keen — music that defined what PC gaming sounded like in the 90s.

Just weeks before his death, the Library of Congress inducted his DOOM score into the National Recording Registry. A fitting recognition for work that was genuinely ahead of its time.

Rest in peace, Bobby. The riffs still hit.

Bobby Prince has died.

He was the musical face of the DOS era, with iconic compositions for games such as the Commander Keen series, the Doom series, and Duke Nukem 3D. While he hadn't been very active in the past 25 years, many people remember his music, and some levels of Doom I and II still instantly evoke the distinctive AdLib sound of his tunes. A great loss!

People are of course gonna talk about how much of a cultural signpost "At Doom's Gate" is but this song from Commander Keen is seared into my brain
