This book is great for beginners and pros that want to learn the secrets of the different maps. It lacks in a lot of tips and secrets though

Editorial Review:

Avid fans of the game "Doom" get the fantastic illustrations from the game and secrets from the experts. Find out how to play the game over networks, with as many as four different players at four different remote sites.

funny 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

It was a really funny book. It's totally different from the books I normally read, but it's OK. I like the cat, Stallone.

Editorial Review:

Jiggy McCue can't resist giving the new computer game "The Toilet of Life" a whirl. It offers him the chance to swap his life for a better one. The game turns out to be the Toilet of Doom when, with one flush, Jiggy switches bodies with his friend Angie, a girl. Jiggy has to wear a short skirt during gym class, dance with a boy, and endure other horrors while he tries to figure out how they can switch back. Will he recover his manhood before it's too late? This third riotous Jiggy McCue romp will leave readers' heads spinning!

3D game Alchemy 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book used from the amazon.com market place, due to the fact that it is currently out of print. It really is an excellent buy for anyone wishing to partake in any kind of Doom/Heretic/Hexen editing. It is also fairly easy to understand for someone not familiar with game editing and gives full guidelines and tutorials on how to effectively use all the programs given on the CD (stuff like level editing programs, Graphics/sound extractors for Wad files and the actual Doom.exe file). In addition to this it includes loads of new levels for Doom/Doom2/Heretic/Hexen complete with a front end program for easy running of the levels.
This book does seem rather dated at first, what with Doom using 3d sprites as opposed to the Monster 3D games of today, e.g. Half-Life, but a lot of the things you learn through this book can be applied to newer games and the tools used to edit them. After using this book to make my own levels and TCs I found that it gave me a good grounding for the games I edit nowadays, e.g. the quake series and also Duke Nukem 3D.
In closing I would thoroughly recommend this book to Beginners and Master programmers alike as it contains a multitude of hints and grounding which will last the test of time through it's application to current and upcoming 3D game titles.

Editorial Review:

Don't just play Doom, create your own Doom, Doom II, Heretic, and Hexen worlds and creatures with the new and updated tools included in this package. The book contains 700 pages of expert step-by-step advice on how to use the included softwre to modify game worlds.

Great Book! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I read this book in a matter of days. It is a great read with a lot of in-depth interviewing of the guys at id. The author really put a lot of time and effort into making this book very detailed. I gave it a 5 out of 5 because my ambition is to be game programmer and this book helped me see what these "kids" went through to becomming head of the video gaming empire.

Editorial Review:

This is the story of the Lenin and McCartney of the video game industry - John Carmack and John Romero. Together, they created an empire, ruled a billion-dollar industry, and provoked a national controversy. They created the successful "Doom" and "Quake", until the games they made tore them apart.
