   John Romero, gaming's original rock star, is the cocreator of DOOM, Quake, and   
   Wolfenstein 3-D, some of the biggest video games of all time. Considered the   
   godfather of the first-person shooter, a genre that continues to dominate the   
   market today, he holds a unique place in gaming history. In DOOM Guy: Life in   
   First Person, Romero chronicles, for the first time, his difficult childhood   
   and storied career, beginning with his early days submitting Apple II game   
   code to computer magazines and sneaking computers out the back door of his day   
   job to write code at night.   
      
   Industry-redefining breakthroughs in design and tech during Romero's time at   
   id Software made DOOM and Quake cultural phenomena, and this thrilling story   
   recounts every step of the process, from collaborative, heavy metal-fueled   
   days spent crafting the industry's most revolutionary and cutting-edge games   
   to a high-profile falling-out with id cofounder John Carmack. After years in   
   the gaming spotlight, Romero is now telling his story - the whole story -   
   shedding new light on the development of his games and his business   
   partnerships, from the highest highs to the lowest lows, sharing insights   
   about design, code, the industry, and his career right up to today. Sharing   
   gratitude for a lifetime in games, Romero reveals the twists and turns that   
   led him, ultimately, to be called DOOM Guy.
