Bobby Prince Obituary

Rest in peace!

One of the GOATs of the industry. Glad he lived long enough to see his work go into National Recording Registry. The music in the first two DOOM games are a HUGE part of what made them what they are and Bobby Prince brought home some Slayer sensibilities that made me both a metal fan and a FPS fan for life and I'll be forever grateful for that. He was awesome. RIP my man.

I aways love Doom 2. Even though I never knew about him, Doom musics will be aways part of my life. Rest in peace.

You know his work is something special when the simple mention of the game hits play for the soundtrack to commence in your mind.

Right? That was the first thing I thought of. What an achievement. The man made some of the most memorable OSTs in that era, that's for sure. Hell, of all time.

One of the best to ever do it. The Doom soundtrack was beyond revolutionary. Up there with Koji Kondo's work on Mario Bros in terms of setting a standard that the entire industry would scramble to follow.

Rest in peace, king.

He was a real one. His music was a huge part of my teenage years. So much doom and wolf3d and duke3d.

Aging is a travesty and should've been a solved problem by now.
