Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture by David Kushner examines how the team at iD Software created their ground breaking masterpiece and the impact it had on pop-culture. Most of the book focuses on the dynamic relationship between John Carmack and John Romero.
John Romero is a pioneer in the gaming world having co-founded id Software in the 90’s alongside John Carmack and Tom Hall. His gaming credits include work on Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake just to name a few while also coining the multiplayer term “deathmatch”.
In 2015; he established Romero Games Ltd., an independent game studio located in Galway, Ireland. Their first title, Gunman Taco Truck was released in January 2017 and it was highly praised by critics along with gamers.
I would pay $400 for that book if he signed it and wrote a 5 sentence critique!
I guess Romero is so desprate for cash he is whiling to pawn a copy of a book he is in just for some beer mony. Sad how the mighty has fallen
