The FPS documentary team sent over a screener... and holy shit this is gold. They have early gameplay footage from doom and so many other games. I have no idea how they got their hands on this stuff. It's so good to hear the dev talk while actually seeing this vintage footage. They gave me an affiliate link... but I still want to buy the big box version lol. Highly recommended.
