completely different era, but this reminds me of those early J2ME wolf3d clones on old dumbphones

Both Way Out (1982) and Capture the Flag (1983) for the Atari 8-bit has similar 360° 3D motion to Doom even though those two games are a full decade earlier, so one could imagine Doom on the Atari 8-bit and nice to see it actually happened, although not until now.

I think Way Out and Capture The Flag on the Atari saved an awful lot of processing time by exploiting the Antic's display lists to change the screen memory address and repeat display lines, so that the bottom of the 3D maze was a mirror image of the top with a change of colour for the ground, in which case no more than half of the screen actually had to be rendered.

That's pretty damn cool on 8bit atari. Great job.

I'm a Sinclair & Commodore dude, but I appreciate this!

It runs Doom! Finally! And they said it's not possible on a 8-bit machine.

It runs a random game that happens to be called Doom and mock it up by the design, but not the actual Doom, tho. The technology difference is huge. And Wolf 3D clones for the 8-bitters are there for at least 25 years by now.

@shiru8bit u play it?

imressive to see doom on 8 bit

I think I remember seeing a version of this for the VIC-20 that looked the same but ran really badly, years ago. It's insane seeing it at this framerate, it actually looks like a lot of fun!

This is pretty amazing.

It makes for an interesting experiment - but I wouldn't want to play a full game like that.

They totally would have sold this port if they could have in the 90s!

that's great!

If you can play Doom on a microwave, then you can play it on an Atari 800

A very good port.

better Tunes then the 32X!!!!

YAY - FIRST COMMENT! (LoL) --- I have to admit that's pretty impressive. Even the music rolling all the time seamlessly. 2023 was too long a wait. This would have been killer back in the 80s.

Agreed. This is good.

I hear Budgies! Cool Video!

I wonder if this can be played on the new Atari 400 mini console that will be released in March 2024

If this had come out back then originally, we would still play on new Atari consoles nowadays. Or imagine having shown this to your 1980s C64-fanboy like I am ...

Why does this sound like an Apple II game?

I've seen far worse new games in the past few months.

Its a vic20 port of doom. Nothing special in my opinion.

It looks better than the Vic20 version, but then the Atari always had very good colour.
