Meier, Sid

The life and career of the legendary developer celebrated as the ā€œgodfather of computer gaming,ā€ and creator of Civilization. Over his four-decade career, Sid Meier has produced some of the worldā€™s most popular video games, including Sid Meierā€™s Civilization, which has sold more than 51 million units worldwide and accumulated more than one billion hours of play. Sid Meierā€™s Memoir! is the story of an obsessive young computer enthusiast who helped launch a multibillion-dollar industry. Writing with warmth and ironic humor, 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. Articulating his philosophy that a video game should be ā€œa series of interesting decisions,ā€ Meier also shares his perspective on the history of the industry, the psychology of gamers, and fascinating insights into the creative process, including his rules of good game design.
