The first book I ever bought in a computer store was Tricks of the Doom Programming Gurus. Back in the mid-90's I saw it randomly while walking by the games section and thought it almost too good to be true. I ended up spending countless hours making my own levels. I was never any good though, and I definitely preferred playing what other people came up with. Every couple of years I'll go back and revisit some of those levels and see if there's anything new. It's definitely awesome that people have kept this scene alive.
