Dirac Dist Doom Guy Book

Doom Guy:

My life in first person is the inspiring and long-awaited autobiography of John Romero, video game designer and co-creator of DOOM.

According to Forbes, this is "possibly the best non-fiction book about video games of all time for offering a unique perspective on one of the most transformative eras in the industry through the eyes of one of its most innovative pioneers." John Romero, the first "rock star" of video games, co-created DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein 3-D, some of the most important titles of all time.

Considered the godfather of first-person shooter games, a genre that continues to dominate the market today, he is a legend in the history of video games.

In Doom Guy:

My life in first person, Romero recounts for the first time his difficult childhood and brilliant career, starting with when he sent the Apple II games he programmed to computer magazines and when he secretly took the work computer to continue programming at night.

The advances in technology and design that revolutionized the industry during Romero´s time at id Software turned DOOM and Quake into cultural phenomena, and this exciting story narrates every step of the process, from his era of creative collaboration to the sound of heavy metal, which gave rise to the most revolutionary and avant-garde games in the industry, to his highly publicized break with id co-founder, John Carmack.

After years in the video game spotlight, Romero now tells his story from beginning to end and sheds new light on the development of his games and his collaborations throughout his successes and failures, while sharing ideas on design, programming, the industry, and his career to the present day.
