Credited with the invention of the first-person shooter, a genre that continues to dominate the market today, he is gaming royalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold in remarkable detail, a byproduct of his hyperthymesia, Romero recounts his storied career--from his early days submitting Apple II code to computer magazines and sneaking computers out of the back door of his day job to do programming projects at night in his garage to a high-profile falling out with his id Software cofounder John Carmack, as well as his continued role in the gaming industry today as the managing director of Romero Games Ltd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis story is truly one of a self-made man, founding multiple companies after a childhood filled with violence and abuse drove him to video game design where he could create new worlds and places to escape to.
