Game Designer Profile: John Romero

Escapist Interview

 I found an interview the online magizine The Escapist did with Romero in 2006. A little old but worth checking out.

Mainly because it came  as part of a free demo disk of 25 id games and I mainly picked it because of the title.

Which was incrediable.

Which then led me to the Quake series of games because I loved his other work.

And so now I have made a Blog on Jhon Romero mainly cause to pass my class I need to make a blog on a game designer but also to give me a forum to talk about the type of games I love (overly violent
