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.
