yep, a really good article!
heh, Carmack told them he could write a faster engine, but could he make it detailed? i think not! :)

Well spotted Zerker. Unfortunately, the server haunt kicks me to a "Join Us Now" page when I try to view the next page in the article.

Actually, I didn't know that they planned to do an U3. Does anyone know anything more about this?

Actually, Carmacks first engines (Wolf3D, Doom) before Quake did not have much to do with actual 3D. Although they were great performance-wise they didn't have anything to do with polygon texturing or such.
Wolf3D was just a simple raycasting engine and Doom developed a little over that to include the Z-factor (different heights). Remember that there was no possibility for bridges or overlapping sections of any kind.

The main no-real-3D thing with the Doom engine was that walls were always vertical, even when looking up or down.
