Over the years we’ve featured many different types of news, from game updates to music CDs and even scene demos. Well, here we are with another eye-opening piece of news that I think you’ll enjoy: If you own an Atari 8bit, then you might want to check out the latest ADoom update for the Atari XL/XE: the Atari port by Krzysztof Swiecicki – Swiety /ZELAX rewritten in asm, optimized, fixed and more! In light of this late news, Saberman has also produced a short video showing the game in action.
Here’s what the release video says from our previous article we did back in July “Atari port by Krzysztof Swieticki – Swiety/ZELAX rewritten in asm, optimized and fixed. Dual horizontal view, viewfinder. Original Doom for VIC-20 ported By Steve McCree This is iD Software’s “port” of Doom that was released at Lost Party 2023. As for the features of this port, it includes shortened versions of the shareware Doom levels, except for the secret level.Sergeants, Demons, Devils, and Codedemons AI cut from the Doom source. Fist, Chainsaw, Pistol, Shotgun, Chaingun, and pickups like health, keys, and ammo. Corpses, exploding barrels, secrets, and more, listed below!”
Changes:
- – full screen in gr 10 mode – use 9 colors
- – all enemy sprites, items are converted from Doom’s pack
- – new drawing routines in graphic mode
- – use fox dos for loading levels (this saves a lot of memory, for example for better textures)
