Doom co-creator John Romero worked on a Pokemon-like MMO that taught you maths, but "felt like you were playing World of Warcraft"

DOOM.

After defining the FPS space with Doom and Quake, John Romero went on to work on a host of other projects. One of them was an ambitious MMO known as Project Redwood that essentially merged World of Warcraft and Pokemon for younger players, and it sounds like it was pretty fun.

During a recent event, Romero spoke about Project Redwood, revealing his aspirations and a distinct educational undercurrent within the game. "In World of Warcraft, when you're on any path, if you go off the path, you aggro something, and get into a fight. For little kids, that's kind of scary," Romero explains, per Time Extension.
