The inspiring, long-awaited autobiography of video game designer
and DOOM cocreator John RomeroDOOM Guy: Life in First Person is the
long-awaited autobiography of John Romero, gaming's original rock
star and the cocreator of DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein-some of the
most recognizable and important titles in video game history.
Credited with the invention of the first-person shooter, a genre
that continues to dominate the market today, he is gaming royalty.
Told in remarkable detail, a byproduct of his hyperthymesia, Romero
recounts his storied career-from his early days submitting Apple II
code to computer magazines and sneaking computers out of the back
door of his day job to do programming projects at night in his
garage to a high-profile falling out with his id Software cofounder
John Carmack, as well as his continued role in the gaming industry
today as the managing director of Romero Games Ltd. His story is
truly one of a self-made man, founding multiple companies after a
childhood filled with violence and abuse drove him to video game
design, where he could create new worlds and places to escape to.
An alcoholic father, a racist grandfather who did not approve of
Romero's parents' mixed-race coupling, and a grandmother who once
ran a brothel in Mexico combine for an illuminating story his
youth-a story that has never before been revealed. After years in
the gaming spotlight, Romero is now telling his story-THE WHOLE
STORY-in his own words.
