I was surprised too.

When I talked to fellow gamers about the awesome stuff Carmack does, they were all like "he's just a engineer, Romero is the real genius!"

But somehow I didn't see anything impressive from Romero, while Carmack was doing cool stuff all the time.

Sure, it wasn't artsy like Romero's work, but it was still impressive.

I always perceived the opposite. Carmack is the real genius, Romero is just a lucky level designer who happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Many other level designers rapidly surpassed Romero.

Carmack was doing a great job until he started building rockets.
