Interesting article for sure, but it seems to kinda just end abruptly... I wanted to keep reading more!

Masters of Doom is an amazing book about id's history. Not like, "good for a video game book". A legitimately good book for anyone.

This article is the shareware version of the book. Great read though, now I want more.

Masters of Doom is a great book on this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah that book did not give me a super high opinion of Romero from what I remember.
