Okay. With a few consumed over the past week, it's finally time to read one of those old-fangled with all the text on the pages again.

Specifically, the plan is to read 's . I don't think I've read an biography (auto or otherwise) since 2007, when I'd received one as a gift.

's was a pretty entertaining read even though much of the story has already been told in . After finishing it I went ahead and played through the original . 30y on it's still tons of fun and provides loads of goosebump moments :-)

A surprising story in John Romero's memoir: apparently Activision hired his startup Inside Out Software to finish Brian Moriarty's game Timesync, left unfinished when Moriarty moved to . I suppose the project was abandoned when Inside Out fell apart.

Notice Romero uses the spelling "Timesync" rather than the more usually seen "Timesink".

Also, apparently the game had enough graphics for Inside Out to hire a dedicated artist for it.

This John Romero book is the real deal. My passion for PC gaming -- and eventually the game industry itself -- was fired up by Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM when I was a teenager. To say that both blew my mind back then (and still do!) is a complete understatement.

You've got to read this if you're into id Software at all.

3: Two for one.

I actually like and think it's a decent game for what it is, but it got overshadowed by , and also by 's questionable marketing and business management.

is an amazing game that is generally liked, but I consider it underrated because few people have heard of it.

I install on every device I own and every time I reinstall my OS. So it's safe to say I'm a bit of a fan 😅

I can't believe I was able to meet tonight at the Imperial War Museum session about war in video games 🤘

MuyComputer - John Romero trabaja en un juego next gen basado en el Unreal Engine 5

La historia de fuera de ha sido una tragedia.

fue un desastre del que solo se salvó la versión de Game Boy Color, cuyo desarrollo no lo hizo , y el único juego brillante de Ion Storm es el original, que fue desarrollado después de que Romero dejara la compañía si no estoy equivocado. muycomputer.com/2022/07/20/joh
