[@mateusfelipecota]

Fun fact, one of the reasons that a lot of doom console ports runs poorly is because that except the enemies doom isn't a sprite game engine but a bitmap one(a abridged version is that they use texture and generate the images on the fly). When doom launched and even some time later there wasn't any big console that wasn't a sprite based console(where it's gpu was made to handle sprites) so porting to them was difficult

[@solarflare9078]

The 32X wasn't a sprite based one. The 32X struggles to get 60 FPS on certain 2D games because the background has to be rendered in 3D, lol. Probably explains the high framerate the 32X port had.

[@leonstanley9629]

For the longest time my only experience with Doom was the SNES port, and I know it looks awful, and is a slog to control, but something about that somehow adds to it for me. It's like how the sluggish tank controls of the first few Resident Evil games makes you feel more helpless. A single cacodemon felt like a huge threat, and (if I recall correctly) not being able to save the game further added to this. Nightmare seemed impossible, but trying to slowly crawl through this game as a kid on ultraviolent in one sitting was an amazing experience for me. When I play PC I feel like an incredibly powerful supersoldier, who the demons should fear. When I played SNES, I felt like an ordinary soldier, who was just barely able to scrape by these terrifying and dangerous demons, by being smarter, and a little lucky. Overall I acknowledge PC is superior by miles, especially for speedrunning, but I'll always have a soft spot for my casual snes playthrough.

You think that's bad? 8 years before Doom, the most popular gaming computer was the C64. If you wanted to shoot scaling sprites at high speeds, you'd need a quarter for Space Harrier at the mall. It was the same year that Super Mario Bros 1 landed. Most of America didn't care...yet. 8 years before that, the Atari 2600 was being outsold, 3-1, by Nintendo's Pong console. The Space Invaders port that saved them wouldn't save them until a few years later. 8 years before that, none of the tech giants wanted anything to do with Ralph Baer or his brown box.

It’s crazy that the record speed runs on these super old platforms were done in the past 1-2 years.

[@Gwolo]

I had hoped you would have shown some of the more absurd things that have been made to run doom. When I was working in a retail shop, a video came out of playing doom on a printer. Using the little mono screen and buttons on the printer itself. Some of those more out there ports are amazing.

Gernot Schrader Bull fucking shit. FM does not "sound cheap". This game uses the GEMS sound driver that's responsible for the Mega Drive's poor sound reputation. Gauntlet 4 and Thunder Force 4 sounds better than most video game soundtracks and no PCM was used in either soundtrack. kzbin.info/aero/PLGFLxX_IcoV9oZO-ydxC_IUwc28QHzaPB ^^ Please check out this WIP playlist.

I love doom on the SNES, its just something I visit every now and then since the cartridge itself is so cool.

[@missingno.1184]

hey jobst, i love listening to your vids while closing my store late at night. i really love your doom and goldeneye vids especially the golden eye ones. i played it as a kid and its definitely refreshing seeing it again. also am i crazy or were the graphics better back then lol keep up the good work hope to see you soon!

[@KF-hf4nt]

I own Doom 1 and 2 on the GBA and finished them both on one of the hard settings years ago, I remember liking it quite a lot, felt very smooth being able to strafe and such easily, very playable but not sure there's a reason to play it now, i just remember them being enjoyable enough to play a lot of both of them

[@xDerekRx]

I love the GBA port. Especially upon release it was amazing to have a portable version that ran respectable.

[@TigerOfKarlstad]

Karl: Makes a girl pregnant The test: Doom

[@shawn576]

My first doom was 32X. It was a great port for the most part, but it was missing levels. I think it had 15 levels. It had all of episode 1 and almost all of episode 2 - it lacked the cyberdemon boss.

[@Jacob-td9zl]

Amazing video Karl! I was skeptical when I saw the intro but it was in fact so intriguing and fun! Thank you!

[@toretronio9030]

Oh, yes. I'm definitely in for the awesome ports speedruns. I actually admire people that have the patience to even boot console doom so many times and being committed to what they do

[@whoohaaXL]

I know the story behind John Carmack not wanting to use the dedicated VDP 2 chip for the Saturn version, it could have come out so much better and would have probably trumped the PlayStation version. Console wise? PlayStation one is the best Doom hands down. It was Doom 1 and 2 combined and you also got ultimate Doom later on about a year or two later. Great soundtrack very ambient based and great little touches that make it just run very well. Of course it was based off the Jaguar code but that doesn't mean it lacks the action of the PC version because it is all there. Aside from just a few minor differences. I personally played doom shareware on a Pentium back in the day so I had probably the best experience but having soft hacked the PlayStation classic, one of my ROMs I uploaded to my USB was Doom. I'm extremely happy the PS1 version was not included in the terrible ports video. I can only wait for the awesome ports video! Excellent job Karl you are an absolute Legend! ( at least 50% of your legendary status is the fact that you, like me, also shred some guitar😉).

[@masterklaw4527]

My first version of DOOM was the SNES version. Hell, it wasn’t even on a real SNES. It was a browser-based emulator.

[@RawrX32009]

Same

[@treyparkerofficial]

Did you know that Billy Mitchell, video game player of the century, actually held the world record for every single port all at once until Guinness screwed him

I wonder if the original 60fps of the saturn could be leaked

I was shocked seeing the SNES version in this video, I grew up playing that version and I haven't seen it since I was a kid, it's the first time I've definitively experienced the "this looked much better when I was younger" effect in my life.

[@diogopereira9559]

Doom on the GBA has the best Doom speedrun and no one can convince me otherwise.

[@AlexeiVoronin]

It's an interesting reversal - throughout the 1980's and in the very early 90's, consoles were more powerful than PC's (in fact, the PC was not really seen as a viable gaming platform at the time) and DOS versions of games were usually considered the inferior ones, but id Software turned this upside-down in 3 years - first with Commander Keen, then Wolfenstein 3D, and finally - Doom :)

[@Runie549]

YES! The original Playstation is still, by far, my favorite console port of Doom, and I'd watch it for that one alone :D

[@mike_and_jan]

Agreed! The soundtrack of that one (and the interesting combination of levels) means it must be covered by Karl!

[@therealpizzagirl]

PS1 Doom has its own vibe. The soundtrack, slight visual changes and huge amount of levels make it still worth checking out in my opinion.

[@Runie549]

@@therealpizzagirl Exactly. It, PS1 Final Doom, Doom 64, and Doom 3 are almost their own sub-series within the Doom franchise that lean more towards horror than action (though they still have plenty of action lol), and I love them for it :D

[@richardhodgson6711]

Doom was the first game I played on the PS1, and is arguably still the best console port of the original game.

[@t.vampiro4800]

You know I actually met the guy who did the 32X music. I'll say, his work on Ecco and Cyborg Justice was pretty cool. Good video by the way!
