On the spirit of Masters of Doom, I recommend "It's behind you - The making of a computer Game" by Bob Pape.

The author explains how he made the R-Type conversion for the ZX Spectrum 48k and provides an interesting view of the "bedroom coders" and the early video game industry in the UK back in the 80s.
