We're going to hell...
AtariCrypt seems to be turning into a bit of a Doom website these days. That's not a problem for me, as Frenkel kindly shared the latest beta of DOOM8088ST. You may remember the previous version? A lot has changed since then; we now have luxuries like sound effects, colour, and a choice of three new colour modes.
- Low Detail (30x128 x 16 colours) will definitely be for the stock ST computers running at 8MHz. The framerate is excellent, and Doom is playable. That fact alone is shocking when you think about it for an 8 MHz computer. Who needs to source an old 386 PC on eBay to play this game? Not me ;^)
- Medium Detail (60x128 x 16 colours) is suited to those with an upgraded ST and Mega STe. It looks a LOT better and still manages to maintain a brisk framerate (as in video recording).
- High Detail (120x128 x 16 colours) is suited to those with an upgraded ST. It looks brilliant if you have the hardware. Do you have the power?!!
- Alt Medium Detail (60x128 x 2 colours) but using a black and white detail mode.
Check out the video above, it's best viewed on YouTube, and I've recorded it in three parts, which are linked in the description. Please note that this is a WIP. The current release of DOOM8088 is an exciting and promising project that you can follow and hopefully assist with here https://github.com/FrenkelS/Doom8088ST
