Trade Review
"... enjoyable… the book serves as a pocket history of game development itself..." -- Alex Hern - The Guardian
"An entertaining autobiography... Where some games are more like films, gorgeous to look at but where many of the artistic decisions have been taken for you, Meier’s games are more like novels, inviting the reader to fill in the gaps. His maxims." -- Ed Cumming - The Independent
"Depending on your perspective, Meier is either one of the pre-eminent figures in a thrilling artistic form, or one of the greatest time-wasters in human history... His story is that of the industry itself." -- Ed Cumming - I
