Most Amiga enthusiasts probably own an AGA-based Amiga, even if they also have Amiga 500s (or any Amiga variation(s)), so the obvious thing to do would be to play 'Doom', 'AB3D' and such games on the AGA-Amiga, and leave Amiga 500 to be the 2D marvel it was designed to be. I played Doom on my Amiga in mid-1990s, and enjoyed it immensely.ĥ) Other 'Doom-clones' already exist for the Amiga (albeit not Amiga 500), Alien Breed 3D being the best of the bunch. Of course, if the doors can slide in both directions, then it's an 'improvement' (though I still don't get why it's necessary or beneficial for the player).Ĥ) It's kind of a cool project to cram something so 'impossible' to Amiga 500, but at the same time, Doom and Wolf3D already exist as actual ports for the Amiga - also, you could (and still can) play both on a Mac-emulator even before those ports existed (though a bit pointless on a 030, unless you have a dedicated hard drive partition for that). This is a neutral change, not an improvement per se. What does the player benefit from this being changed to horizontal direction? It's the same thing, just in a different direction.
I know the Amiga 500 can't give you the 256 colors the old VGA/MCGA could, but this shouldn't mean color should be always change to grey.ģ) How are 'sliding doors' some kind of new feature? Doom already has sliding doors. This might as well be called 'Quake-clone', it'd be about as accurate a term.Ģ) The graphics look awfully grey and colorless for some reason. What separates 'Doom-clones' from' Wolf3d-clones', are things like textures on ceilings and floors and multiple heights (stairs, pits, different elevations, etc.)Įver since mid-1990s, I got exhausted checking all the supposed 'Doom-clones', only to realize they're 'Wolf3D-clones' at best. Amiga 500 can't do that, so it'd be best to call this something like 'Wolfenstein 3D-clone with Doom-inspired visuals'. However, there are a few things I'd like to point out, and hopefully people won't chew me up like they did anyone who dared raise any kind of criticism in this thread (is this a discussion board or a fanboy echo chamber where you are only allowed to praise and worship?).ġ) It's not really a Doom-Clone, if it doesn't replicate Doom.
It looks impressive - I didn't really think this would be feasible with Amiga 500.
