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 are now being sold by Wilton Square Books, after Unbound's liquidation. If you prefer a digital copy, I've put the ebook back on sale at Payhip. Contact me if you're after a hardcover (I have a few left).
