The Backward-Masked Statement by the Final boss of Doom2 Map30





Andrew Rabert (GameMaster2k99@aol.com) emailed me recently, telling me that he had recorded the phrase spoken by the final boss in Doom2 Map30, and reversed the .wav to hear the backward-masked message.

It is common knowledge among many Doom enthusiasts that the message is a backward-masked message about John Romero, but I don't know of many people who have actually turned the .wav around and listened to it. So, here it is, courtesy of Andrew.

Original presentation in Doom2, garbled nonsense --  original.wav

Backward-rendered file: "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero." reversed.wav
