| Whoo! Doom! :bow One of the best games ever made bar none. So much fun! Though I never did get to play any deathmatch.  | |||

| I saw the shorts for the movie a couple of weeks ago. Looks pretty ordinary. | |||

| Most surprisingly to me is the awesome soundtrack of the Saturn version. | |||

| The 32X version was pretty good for its time, but I find it pretty much unplayable now. Also missing a couple levels, IIRC. | |||

| 32x version uses only one SH2 (68K for joypads checking and the other sh2 as a crap sound cart emulator)... A shame... Direct port of the PC game... Could have been fullscreen 30fps without any problem... :'( Else, The missing things (in addition of levels) are the monsters sprites... they are always looking at you (there is only front picture)... This is annoying  maybe cartridge space/price problem  Also its interesting to see that the boxes-artworks shows monsters from back... I'm sure all was rushed in 4 months  This is one of my *fav* 32x games... So gloomy/dark places inside ... I spent several hours trying to get 100% secrets on each map | |||

| The frame rate in Saturn Doom gets horribly bad in the later levels. I still enjoyed it, but it should have been so much better. | |||

| The PlayStation version of Doom is the best one you can get. Same soundtrack as the Saturn version, but without framerate problems. The Saturn and PSX versions are the same. The reason behind the Saturn version's framerate is because the game was optimized for the PSX hardware, and GT just ported it over to the Saturn, without optimizing it for the Saturn hardware. Doom never once scared me, yet when I played PSX Doom a few months ago when I bought it, it did get me a couple times. Includes most levels from Ultimate Doom and Doom II (50+) All new lighting effects 30 frames per second New, 24-channel stereo sound New cheat code exclusive to the PlayStation version (X-ray vision) Deathmatch and Co-op with the link cable (This was included in the PAL Saturn version, though not in the NTSC Saturn version). I had Doom 64 for a couple years, and played it a lot. One thing I liked was that PSX Doom has the same sound effects as that version. The monsters look great in the PSX version as well. When it's real dark, and Pinky comes at you, and all you can see his his green eyes. AH! Shoot the damn thing! Scared me a couple times. | |||

| I think the Japanese Saturn version has a much better framerate than the US version, as well. | |||

| Anyone seen the movie yet? | |||

| I saw it Friday with my friend Brandon. They changed the BFG from green to blue! :rant It's a combination of Doom and Resident Evil. Doom, weapons, atmosphere, and enemies. But the enemies are human genetic experiments (Except the zombies) ala Resident Evil. The FPS view point near the end of the movie is actually quite cool. I wasn't expecting anything from that, because it was the most hyped part of the movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. Felt like I was watching a demonstration of HoTD or Virtua Cop. As for enemies, you got the Zombie, Imp (No fireball though ), Pinky, and the main enemy of the movie (That is until the end... Can't spoil it ) is the Baron of Hell ala Knee-Deep in The Dead.I greatly enjoyed it. | |||

| The 32X port was pretty crappy. Music sounds terrible compared to the PC version (despite the fact that the Genesis has a better FM chip). It had the entire first episode and a chunk of the second episode (so you got about half the full game) which is pretty sad considering the entire first episode was available as shareware for the PC. If they had used a 32Mbit cart I'm sure they could have thrown the rest of the second episode in. Oh well. I suppose I can't blame them for not putting a huge amount of effort into it. | |||

| Well, they could have used (at least) genesis to render sky and weapon... And main SH for tracing/engine and sub for drawing And bam, here i'm sure to get 30fps/fullscreen instead of 75% fullscreen and 10-20 fps... I guess we can blame a bit because they made a special SNES version while the 32x version is direct port from computer code without any effort around optimisation (the crap fps and not fullscreen). | |||

| Anyone tried the Genesis version that one guy announcd in the internet? So if the 32X version of doom is so much crap (at least it's faster than on Saturn...), then it would make sense to port Doom on your own. And maybe Duke Nukem and others, too . | |||

| For raycasting (100%software), saturn is almost as fast as 32x (28 vs 23mhz)... Saturn might be slowdowned because they used a compression for sprites maybe... Well, i dunno for saturn. > to port Doom on your own. And maybe Duke Nukem and others, too smile.gif . Haha, i can feel your sarcastic reply... For doom, if we get the 32x game code (100% in C, i had confirmation), yeah, a job can be made at least to increase FPS and then go fullscreen. >Anyone tried the Genesis version that one guy announcd in the internet? Was a fake, isn't it? At least, the screenshots were 100% fake (what a joke, they were all exactly 64 colors or something like that) | |||
