Did I… Did I just read a free shareware article demo of the full upcoming autobiography for sale?
Wtf I just bought Commander Keen on Steam a few days ago!
Very interesting read, thanks for sharing!
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!
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.
Haha Softdisk
if you type their name often enough, you will inevitably type them as softdiks.
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.
I find it interesting that the guys who wrote the initial side-scrolling code had no idea how revolutionary it was
Sometimes you have no idea of what you’re doing on a wider scale. For John and Tom, it was likely a very cool and neat technical problem they overcame while solving a problem in front of them.
