Sid Meier's memoir! : a life in computer games
Meier, Sid2021
Book
Over his four-decade career, Sid Meier has produced some of the world's most popular video games, including Sid Meier's 'Civilization', which has sold more than 51 million units worldwide and accumulated more than one billion hours of play. 'Sid Meier's Memoir!' is the story of an obsessive young computer enthusiast who helped launch a multi-million-pound industry. Writing with warmth and ironic humour, Meier describes the genesis of his influential studio, MicroProse, founded in 1982 after a trip to a Las Vegas arcade, and recounts the development of landmark games, from vintage classics like 'Pirates!' and 'Railroad Tycoon', to 'Civilization' and beyond.
