Excellent

This book gives you a perfect insight of the early days of 3d fps. It tells the story of the two Johns and id software. An excellent read on Kindle and perfectly read by Will Wheaton on Audible. I can only recommend.

worthy..!

Entwickler die ihre Programme mod-fähig machen, werden zu Recht angebetet..!
Nur ein game was ständig von den Moddern verbessert wird, kann Kultstatus erlangen!

Wil Wheaton is an incredible voice actor

I honestly found this book on the side of the road and decided since I had just played Doom: Eternal, that it would be a topical read. I expected absolutely nothing from it and even less from the audio book of it. But Wil Wheaton made this an incredible experience. I usually use an audiobook while I read the book to help me remain focused, also I read much much much more quickly with an audiobook because I would otherwise have to do my own sub-vocalization in my head, but I can't sub-vocalize as quickly as someone reading 3X on the audiobook. But I digress, I never looked at the book for this read because Wil Wheaton did such an amazing job. I was totally engaged in the book, and because he constantly uses a new and different voice for each character that is represented, I never lost track of who was speak and when. He even did a killer Bill Clinton impression! I kept this book at 1.5x the whole time and listened to it like a podcast, and it was an incredible and exciting read. What an important work of gaming history and what an excellent voice actor. 10/10 can absolutely recommend to anyone interesting in gaming, technology, and US culture.

interessant für alle Nerds und vllt auch andere ;)

es ist einfach gut erzählt und spannend wie sich alles um Dome und quake entwickelt hat. vor allem wenn man in dieser Zeit aufwachsen und alles mit erlebt hat ;)

must-read title for every 90s gamer kid

The level of detail in the historical journey from arcades and consoles to the rise of PC gaming and MMORPG is amazing and surprising.

It is as you were with them when they created Commander Keen, Doom or Quake.

Highly recommended trip down memory lane!

Just great... and perfectly read by Wil

Only caveat could be, that the book ends some years from now and the late history of ID is missing... PLEASE, David, do the next chapter as afterwords' afterword.

Else nothing can hinder from making this a clear 5-star book: Interesing, good style and some facts not so wellknown even to gamers. The two Johns and their child ID are described in colorful detail, showing the fun and hard work, those guys had and did to change the computer games world. Did they? Yeah, think so.

Wil Wheaton is at his best, the joy of reading this book is palpable in every sentence, a very good and easy hear even for non-mothertonguees like myself.

Guter Sprecher, interessante Story

Wer sich für die Geschichte der Videospiele interessiert, kommt an Doom - und damit an der Firma id Software - nicht vorbei. Das Buch ist abwechslungsreich und kurzweilig. Ich kann es sehr empfehlen.
