I've always admired his programming prowess, but I guess this is cool too.

I'm sure he's smart enough to realize that these games are past their prime and are no longer very profitable to the company. It's a smart move to release the source code at this point, because it rekindles interest in the games and helps to create a rather large modding community.

Uhm, what?

I'm guessing you're talking about a disassembly? You can disassemble any executable and call a 5 megabyte, completely incoherent assembly file "source code," but it's worthless...

John Carmack is awesome! If you have any interest in id or just reading about game development you should read Masters of Doom.

1.Fallout 1/2 - the games could be given source ports
2.Resident Evil 2 - I love the game and would love to see how it actually works. Capcom for the first time in years do something for your fans.
3.Silent Hill - I'd love to see how the game works.
can't think of a 4 or 5 right now.

I'm glad to have access to this, when in the future I am deciding how to architect something, I can see if they have any ideas I can borrow from. A great resource! Also the sick amounts of comments make me happy.
