Finally I met someone who also has that version. Tried it once, immediately returned playing it on my PC ^^ Edit: I still even remember the specs of my PC at the time: CPU: Am486 DX 40 GPU: S3 928 RAM: 32MB, later upgraded to 96MB HDD: 400MB Sound: Soundblaster 16 Also had a 5'25" and a 3'5" drive (the former salvaged from our old 286 after it broke, wasn't originally part of the computer), a quad speed CD drive and a turbo button (which deactivated the FPU iirc). Came with Windows 3.1 but had Win95 SE installed most of it's life. Speaking of which, nobody has an old ISA GPU laying around somewhere? The S3 928 broke a couple years ago. |
As a kid I was not allowed to play any games that featured realistic (that's "realistic" by 90s standards) violence, so Doom was strictly off limits.
Much later, when I became an adult, I started to go back and buy for myself all the games (and hardware) I wanted as a kid but never got, and one of those was Doom on SNES. Yeah, at that stage I probably would've been better off getting one of the many superior versions, and indeed I did, as in that same phase I bought Doom 3 Special Edition that came with Doom 1 & 2 included, but since as a kid it was the SNES one that I wanted (as that was the system I grew up on) I just had to have it haha.
It may be a bit of a chore to play nowadays with its low framerate and blocky graphics, but as someone who is fascinated by the technical aspect of video games I still find it an immensely interesting port, as it's one of miracle conversions that on paper shouldn't be possible.
