I find Doom modding fascinating, it's a prime example of (extreme) limitations leading to creativity and ingenuity, and the ideas people come up with are just incredible (I'm sure there is lots of dross released also)

Absolutely. Mind you, the whole (too long) stretch where PC software was locked into the 640k memory prison was such a period for PC software in general. Whole industries of clever innovation crashed when the 386 came out.

That is incredible. Skipped through it as at work, but will watch properly as need to do it justice. The amount of work, detail and art that modders put into these things is astounding - i can barely find the time to play a flipping game. That fact that they do it for free / further a community restores some of my faith in humanity.
