Interesting article for sure, but it seems to kinda just end abruptly... I wanted to keep reading more!
Yep it works.
Commander genius comes to mind.
Yeah exactly. I kept looking for the part 2 button 😅
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.

I'm still waiting for John Romero to make me his bitch.
I see Keen I upvote.
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.
Shit, I forgot about Commander Keen.
