Publisher's Synopsis
Bitmap Books proudly presents I'm Too Young To Die: The Ultimate Guide to First-Person Shooters 1992–2002.
Covering the early, experimental years of the first-person shooter, we celebrate more than 180 games as we track the genre's explosive entrance onto the '90s gaming scene.
Whether obscure oddities or genre-defining behemoths, first-person shooters transported players to alien worlds, alternate universes and the shores of Hell itself, and in doing so helped to trigger the 3D-graphics arms race.
Containing in-depth research and hundreds of screenshots, I'm Too Young To Die covers it all: the classics that defined the genre, including DOOM and Quake, Half-Life, Deus Ex, GoldenEye 007 and Halo; multiplayer-only games such as Starsiege: Tribes, Unreal Tournament and Quake III, along with mods like Counter-Strike and Team Fortress; experimental games that pushed the genre in new directions, including Gun Buster, Codename Eagle, Assassin 2015 and Trespasser; forgotten games like ZPC and ReVOLUTION; and hidden gems like Dust, Wrath of Earth and Azrael's Tear.
