DOOM GUY: LIFE IN FIRST PERSON (HB)

The long-awaited autobiography of John Romero, gaming’s original rock star and the cocreator of DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein. 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 by-product of his hyperthymesia, Romero recounts his storied career. 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 to escape to. An illuminating history of his youth.
