He is a good game designer who invented some of the common tropes of FPS. After Quake and Doom he tried things that were sometimes too ambitious or just didn't work out.

First of all, most game designers don't have as much success as he had after Id. Second, how are you going to follow up games as successful as Doom.

Also don't forget Wolfenstein, Hexen..

(Full disclosure: I met him once and he was nice.)

Romero strikes me as the type who hit paydirt, and then his cocaine-fueled ego took the wheel (lol Daikatana).

He does seem cool as an older, chill guy now that he doesn't have to live with the pressures of being a hit parade.
