Famous quotes by John Romero:

"I completely love playing and designing games and always will. I am so into games that I listen to game music all day. That may sound strange, but you can guarantee I'm a hardcore gamer and would never let you down by designing a crappy title."

"I started looking at what I was going to do next, so I looked around on the net and I saw there was an opportunity for an MMO, there was a person starting an MMO so I contacted him. We talked for hours on the phone, we had a lot of common interests and ideas about this title and so basically this guy was really excited, brought me on as a co-founder of the company and I've been here for almost four months now."

"To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero."

"It was so easy, it was hard to believe."

"If you walk into CompUSA or Babbage's and see the vast array of game titles on the shelf, chances are that 95% of those titles are not worth playing."

"For the record, I'm co-founder of a new game company in the bay area and am much better off in many ways than I was at Midway. Much happier now."

"When news of my new game somehow gets out, I think everyone will be a bit shocked."

"We've recovered a hat and a sneaker identified as that of the individual we're looking for, ... The boy has not been found as of yet."

"I think DOOM had just the right mix of elements that keep people coming back to it: great monsters, excellent weapons with great balance, a spooky environment and extreme speed."

"In marketing I've seen only one strategy that can't miss - and that is to market to your best customers first, your best prospects second and the rest of the world last."

"We are at the point where game designers have become celebrities due to the size of the market they serve."

"What I didn't foresee in 2005 was the rise of the post-PC, which are all these tablets now. These are the things that actually will probably be the end of the consoles."

"You have to design and program differently. Combat action in an MMO is so different to combat in a first-person shooter."

"You want stealth? Be a rogue in 'World of Warcraft'."

"I'm a hardcore gamer and would never let you down by designing a crappy title."

"The analogy I use is that 'World of Warcraft' is like going to the mall: you see a ton of people there, but you don't really want to interact with them; you just want to know you're part of the human race. And if you get in trouble, you'll know someone else is there."

"The thought processes that go through my head when I'm playing a game compared to the thought processes in real life are very, very different. And they're more interesting to me than what you think about when you're doing the dishes, cleaning the yard, watching TV, driving or watching a movie."

"I live way out in the country, in truck-country."

"I still like to play games that have a beginning, an end and a story."

"I think the reason that I like so many different games is because I like the way my brain works when I'm playing games. It's more fun."
