Masters of Doom is a great book on this.

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

I’m still waiting for John Romero to make me his bitch.

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.
