Bobby Prince, the composer known for music that helped define the sound of early first-person shooters, has died at age 81. Prince is credited with creating key parts of the score for the 1993 original Doom, a soundtrack widely associated with the game’s identity. He also worked on music for classic PC shooters, including Wolfenstein 3D, another influential title from the era. Beyond those two franchises, Prince’s work extended to other early PC games, such as Catacomb 3-D, reflecting his role in shaping the broader catalog of early 1990s computer gaming sound. Multiple outlets report his death and highlight his influence on the musical style of early FPS games, in which memorable themes and energetic compositions became closely linked to gameplay. The reports agree on his age at death and on the core body of work for which he is best remembered.
