Sid Meier's Memoir!: A Life in Computer Games by Sid Meier

If you don't know who Sid Meier is, he's a very famous game developer from the 8 and 16-bit era of computing. If not, you still might have heard of the Civilization series of games. They were originally designed and programmed by none other than Sid Meier. As an enjoyer of game-making with dreams of having some kind of success in the field beyond my little home office, I Have done some reading on the subject. How could I not? Sid Meier's story isn't especially unique aside from his eventual success. He got his start making games in contests hosted by small publishers and programming for boring companies until his own game studio took-off. Still I love the magic of game making, how one can take nothing and make something that will bring hundreds of hours of enjoyment to a player's life. I'm inspired by anyone who can achieve such a thing. So are you looking for inspiration? Look no further until you finish this one.
