Yes, Doom with multi-monitors! There's (at least) one video on Youtube showing it in action with 3 monitors plus a fourth one with the map: [VIDEO]

As a teenager at the time, there was a palpable feeling of being part of a counter-culture that was on the bleeding edge of an inevitable future which adults simply could not grok. That world definitely ain't coming back, in large part because global internet connectivity has rendered quaint the very notion of counter-culture. On the other hand, retro computing and nostalgia for the era has never been stronger or more accessible: [VIDEO]

I have no reason to doubt that this is real, and it looks amazing. But what's with the left monitor's screen overlapping with his face? Looks kinda greenscreen-y: [VIDEO]
