Page "John Romero" Paragraph 4

Romero moved to Shreveport, Louisiana in March 1989 and joined Softdisk as a programmer in its Special Projects division.

After several months of helping the PC monthly disk magazine Big Blue Disk, he officially moved into the department until he started a PC gaming division in July 1990 named ' Gamer's Edge ' ( originally titled PCRcade ).

Romero hired John D. Carmack into the department from his freelancing in Kansas City, moved Adrian Carmack into the division from Softdisk's art department, and persuaded Tom Hall to come in at night and help with game design.

Romero and the others then left Softdisk in February 1991 to form id Software.
