Nathan Lineback Interview (MarsWar, toastytech, Firefox DOOM Party, Spear of BS)

Описание: Nathan Lineback, still actively covering GUIs on his toastytech.com webpage in 2026, offers some rare insight into his creative works over the years. His creations span from Spear of Destiny shareware hack-up "Spear of BS" in 1993 all the way to ACS-scripted Skulltag map "Dead Silly" from 2009. Nathan is best remembered for "MarsWar", a one-man MegaWAD for Doom II originally released in 1995, then re-released in 1998 with anti-Microsoft jokes added in and finally updated again in 2009 with 3 new levels replacing old placeholders. His maps are known for their surreal, exploration-focused designs inspired by dreams he had, with touches of humor added in like vending machines, anti-Microsoft textures, and giant recreations of vintage computers.
