Doom Guy

You probably already know if you want to read John Romero’s life story.

I take his claim of having perfect recall with a grain of salt, but his recollections are nonetheless fascinating. While much of it is similar to Masters of Doom, hearing id’s history from one of the primary sources is once again a captivating ride.

I found the chapters on Romero’s formative years surprisingly interesting. And the epilogue and acknowledgments were a pleasant surprise: informative and emotional.

Only negative is that it could do with a bit of editing to help things flow better, and catch those times when Romero repeats himself.
