Visual Studio? The first released Visual Studio (Boston) was released in 1997. Doom was developed during 1993 :P !

He may well be thinking of Microsoft Visual C++, which dates back to 1993 and evolved into Visual Studio. It had a profiler.

Doom was developed on NeXT machines, not Windows.

Although the DOS version was compiled using Watcom C, so presumably they'd use Watcom's debugger for testing the DOS version.

This. Thank you. I thought it was Visual Studio. It's been a while...! The games were a wretched mixture of C++, C and x86.

I use VC++ in 96. Just trying to learn a bit of C++!
