Here’s Doom 2 made entirely out of cardboard (and John Romero)
There’s a YouTube channel dedicated to recreating classic games using a very unusual medium – cardboard – and it’s more than a little impressive. The channel, named simply Games Made of Cardboard, has captured the essence of a whole bunch of retro titles via this very manual and creative medium, and its creator Bill Thorpe has now unveiled the latest: Doom 2 made of cardboard.
Describing Doom 2’s latest port as his “most ambitious and creative project to date” and a “personal tribute to one of my most treasured games of all time”, the creator explains that the project took them an eye-watering nine months to complete, adding he’s “both happy and relieved to have completed it”. After nine months and plenty of hard work – as you can see through the various ‘making of’-style videos of it on the channel – it’s easy to see why, but the final result is worth it.
