520    "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"--
