Looking forward for reading this book.
Masters of Doom is a great read for anyone that have played any of their games (Doom, Quake) or have played games from the 90s.

Wtf I just bought Commander Keen on Steam a few days ago!
I read Masters Of Doom back in the day and i remember it kinda portraying Romero as a bit of a douche. Still a good book!
That was a cool little snippet from John’s perspective. I’ll have to pick up a copy. I loved Masters of Doom and this seems to tell more of that story.
Haha Softdisk
if you type their name often enough, you will inevitably type them as softdiks.

Very interesting read, thanks for sharing!
