Not at the same level of quality. For example, their game, ultima underworld if my memory doesnt fault me, didnt have sub-pixel precision for texturing. Their texturing was a lot uglier and unpolished compared to Wolf and especially Doom. I remember I checked, they were behind. And their game crashed. Never saw Doom crash, not even once.



> Not at the same level of quality.

Engine quality? No.

In terms of systems? Design? Storytelling? LGS games were way ahead of their time, and have vastly more relevance than anything post-Romero ID made.


Agreed, I was talking about the engine. UU was exceptional in terms of ambience and all other things.
