Dunno if anyone has found this yet. If they have, than oh well...

The trapezoidal box even. I see Nocturne in there, too--loved that game!

Learning and borrowing from the best.
Thanks. It always makes me smile to see a Thief game in someone's collection...in this case, a company's.

It made the top shelf too. Always nice to see a company which knows it's stuff.

I am sure they used it as an example of now not to do game design, if their games are any indication.

Hahaha!
I mean...:mad: Thief doesn't get no respect.

This is not true. As far as I know, id has always been interested in Looking Glass developments. At one of the QuakeCons Todd Hollenshead (id CEO) even made a speech about how piracy resulted in LG closure.

And John Carmack was inspired by LG's first game in the Ultima Underworld series to design the less system-taxing Woflenstein 3D engine.
Though besides the Dark Engine, LG was pretty much ahead of ID in terms of technical details. The environments in Ultima Underworld weren't limited to cubes, for example.

Also, per the (
http://southquarter.com/2009/05/08/interview-with-sean-barrett/) interview up on Southquarter, Sean Barrett and John Carmack corresponded while Sean was creating Dromed and the Dark engine, so you have to figure they had some kind of at professional relationship and a level of mutual respect for the others projects.

Jeeze, when you think about it, just about every detail of the video game world we know today is all thanks to John Carmack, and a special thanks to LG for giving him the idea to make games like Wolfenstein 3D and Doom.
