Doom Guy: Life in First Person by John Romero

This is such a great memoir! I'm a huge fan of the detail and it makes such a wonderful companion read to Masters of Doom, which I read earlier this year.
If I had been a proper fan/follower of id and Doom and Quake, and the games that followed, and I remembered all the little details of them, this would have probably been a 5⭐️ read. Given that I'm not, I did lose focus sometimes but I can see how a true fan would be obsessed with the whole thing.
A must-read for anyone into video games, especially how one is produced or the history of the industry! Excellent for general enthusiasts and lovers of memoirs!
I listened to this on audio and it's so fantastic hearing Romero tell you his story himself!
