I FOUND IT AND IT'S A VERY USEFUL TOOL
Woot and toot!
That link wont work for me, but anyway, since i probably wont win anyhow, i will help others instead, John Carmack worked on MANY games that are listed on moddb.com, read below for all the info you need about him:
Carmack grew up in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, part of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, and became interested in computers at an early age. He graduated from Shawnee Mission East High School. He then attended the University of Missouri - Kansas City for two semesters before dropping out to work as a freelance programmer. Softdisk in Shreveport, Louisiana hired Carmack, uniting him with John Romero and other future key members of id Software such as Adrian Carmack. In 1990, while still at Softdisk, Carmack, Romero, and others created the first of the Commander Keen games, a series which was published by Apogee Software, under the shareware distribution model, from 1991 onwards. Afterwards, Carmack left Softdisk to co-found id Software, where he remains.
Carmack's most notable programming ventures are in the area of first-person shooter games. His programming skills contributed heavily to the development of seminal games of that genre: Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, as well as their newer versions (including Doom 3 and the rest of the Quake series). He has invented or popularized many computer graphic algorithms, notably surface caching and Carmack's Reverse (while the latter was not originally invented by him, he discovered it independently). Carmack's game engines have been licensed for use in other influential first person action shooter games such as Half-Life and Medal of Honor.
John Carmack working on Doom 3Carmack released the source code for Wolfenstein 3D in 1995 and the Doom source code in 1997. When the source code to Quake was leaked and circulated among the Quake community underground in 1996, a programmer unaffiliated with id Software used it to port Quake to Linux, and subsequently sent the patches to Carmack. Instead of pursuing legal action, id Software, at Carmack's behest, used the patches as the foundation for a company-sanctioned Linux port. id Software has since publicly released the source code to Quake as well as that to Quake 2, both under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The Doom source code was also re-released under the GPL in 1999.
Carmack is also noted for his generous contributions to charities and gaming communities. Some of the recipients of Carmack's charitable contributions include his former high school, promoters of open source software, opponents of software patents, aerospace research, and game enthusiasts. In 1997 he gave away one of his Ferraris as a prize to the winner of the Quake "Red Annihilation" tournament, Dennis Fong.
On March 22, 2001, Carmack became the fourth person to be inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame, an honor bestowed upon those who have made revolutionary and innovative achievements in the video and computer game industry. The first to receive that honor was Shigeru Miyamoto from Nintendo.
In 2003, Carmack was one of the subjects of the book Masters of Doom, a chronicle of id Software and its founders.
Though Carmack is best known for his innovations in 3D graphics, he is also a rocketry enthusiast and the founder of Armadillo Aerospace.
Carmack met Katherine Anna Kang after she visited him at the id offices with a friend during QuakeCon '96. They married around January 2000 and their son, Christopher Ryan, was born on August 13, 2004.
MY advice, check all the game sections of the games mentioned, and pages related on this site, or something....
