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.
Thanks for uploading! Great work - quite one of the fastest Doom Versions Ive seen so far. Nice to see someone using the original hardware (and to hear your tweety sing) - but upgrading with some audio equipment (Ive got a Dell aktive 2.1 System on the pure XL and one from altec lansing hanging on the expandet one) like an aktive System would make the experience perfect... I hope you carry on!
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.
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.
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 ...
I taught myself to program on an old Atari 400 when I was 8, then I got an 800xl and a 1050 floppy around 10. I learned by typing in programs from Antic magazine and other computer magazines. Outpost Atari articles in computer world etc. I remember I couldn't' afford an assembler so I'd "compile " my software on paper , mostly just routines for my games I was writing for fine scrolling etc. The 3d game I remember was called Alternate reality and had a great soundtrack for the 4 channel Atari.
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!
@@w1katariBut WHO wants more in this days ? Great emulator is maibe usefull like old hardware. And support real old hardware extensions is owerpriced . Man's what want use more then floppy /turbocards with real old hardware is minimum but they exists and they bought anything for any price .Like ZX Spectrum Next ...i want IT ,but not with his price ;) And here will be RetroGame's full ZX ARM emulator much usefull ;)
That's pretty damn cool on 8bit atari. Great job.
I'm a Sinclair & Commodore dude, but I appreciate this!
completely different era, but this reminds me of those early J2ME wolf3d clones on old dumbphones

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

@shiru8bit u play it?
The Super Nintendo Entertainment system's CPU is a MOS 6502 variant, which is an 8-bit microprocessor, and it runs Doom super smoothly in 256 colors.
Damn good graphics for the Atari XL.
imressive to see doom on 8 bit
A very good port.
It makes for an interesting experiment - but I wouldn't want to play a full game like that.

Agreed. This is good.
that's great!
I hear Budgies! Cool Video!
This is pretty amazing.
This was run on 1985 technology. Doom was released around 1993. It's amazing the advancement in fps graphics over the course of 8 years.
better Tunes then the 32X!!!!

Cool. Has anyone made a Atari version of Elite?
dont know:)
I heard a rumour many years ago that it existed but never saw any evidence
@@snorkelthump its new, 2023
I didn’t even know this was on Atari
yes, it is:)
Amazing
yeah :)
Somebody’s got budgies!
yeah:/
pc speaker sound
No way....
Why does this sound like an Apple II game?
That’s what I was wondering. It sounds like something you’d hear on a computer that has no sound chip, just an internal speaker.
If you can play Doom on a microwave, then you can play it on an Atari 800
Is neat, but doesn't look very fun to play.
I've seen far worse new games in the past few months.
Its a vic20 port of doom. Nothing special in my opinion.
agree
It looks better than the Vic20 version, but then the Atari always had very good colour.

I wonder if this can be played on the new Atari 400 mini console that will be released in March 2024
400 is not atari.. only poor emulator :)

They totally would have sold this port if they could have in the 90s!
I see this and think, what if project-M was completed?!
i dont know, but its no progress there
This, is better than the last quad AAAA game release
yeah:)
