An excerpt from Shareware Heroes Chapter 11, DOOM, (of around half the chapter) covering the immediate impact that id Software's seminal FPS DOOM had on the shareware games scene.
And they'll mostly be original pieces, rather than excerpts from the book. Let me know on Bluesky, Twitter, or the Fediverse (Mastodon and its ilk) if there's anything you'd like me to write about that's shareware related.
First edition paperbacks may still be on sale, but none of the proceeds will make it to the author due to publisher liquidation. I do have some physical copies left that you can buy directly from me, but you'll have to pay for shipping from my home in Australia (send me an email for more info). Alternatively, I've put the ebook back on sale at Payhip.

...I mean, only if you want to.
(While you wait, you can play with the Classic Mac-themed website for my other book.)
