Doom co-creator and id Software co-founder John Romero is celebrating the legendary FPS's 32nd birthday with some reflections on its origins, its trajectory from launch, and gratitude for fans who've kept it alive for so long.

"It's DOOM's 32nd birthday today!" Romero wrote on Twitter. "It amazes me how far this rebellion of a game has travelled. We wanted to build the the greatest game we could imagine playing, and generations of players have kept it alive. It's one of the great privileges of my life."
