A Look at Video Game Legend John Carmack\u2019s Sacrilegious Turbo Ferraris<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The legendary programmer behind Doom and Quake also had a habit of building turbocharged Ferraris in the 1990s, and the results were incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When most people pick up the controller to play their favorite first-person shooter, they’re not thinking of the history surrounding\u00a0how<\/em>\u00a0the gaming industry got to where it is today.
