I can't wait for part 2. I wish there was a book written about the early days of Blizzard or Westwood Studios and those kind of great companies, kind of like the book Masters of Doom about id Software, or Revolution in the Valley about Apple.

Have you read the journals of Jordan Mechner from when he was developing Prince of Persia? They're a fascinating look at the development of early computer games.

Looks fascinating, but I can't get to page 2 :(

There is a video series on YouTube covering the early days of Blizzard (and back when they were S&S), Westwood and id.

Search YouTube for "All Your History Are Belong To Us".
