Doom The 2600 demake

[TheMajorHavoc]

 

  Doom 2600 WIP demo

 

DOOM2600_Bk_techdemo_072221.bin

 

 

 ***I saw a few videos out there of the game, but the refresh rate is off and frames are dropped.
I am using a 20hz flicker technique that capture devices don't like apparently. Here's a quick low quality video with no sound

 

 

 

The basic Doom storyline...

 

  The Player assumes the role of a space marine, popularly known as Doomguy, fighting his way through hordes of invading demons from Hell.
 

   3 animated enemy types -cacodemons, Bulldog demons (Pinkies!) and Imps.

     enemies are set to roam but will not aggro. they will respawn

 

  Door and key logic started but finished - can't collect the 1 key, but door logic is functional  - only 1 door in this demo.

 still no  health /  ammo  logic yet .

 Somethings I want to add:

    Tune the aggression level on the AI (it's off in the demo)
    3 types of keys / doors
    exit
    at least 2 more weapons
    ammo
    facial expressions
    BOSS

 

 

     Left/Right to rotate view (4 directions)

     up/down to move

     fire  to shoot

   I hope it displays well on your setup. Looks pretty good on CRT's!

Wow, super impressed. I would play this all day. I'm a huge fan of the original doom and love the progress so far.

wow my guy, you are doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  just tried on my computer i cant really see whats happening to well but will load on harmony cart regular//six-switch vcs soon......hope it works?

[TheMajorHavoc]

In my experience, If the Harmony menu displays correctly on your flatscreen TV, it should work great.  CRT for the win

 

Let me know how it goes

Its old. It will be fixed.

[TheMajorHavoc]

Can y'all remove that old techdemo from your posts? It's been downloaded a few times

[swlovinist]

Impressive!   Thanks for sharing!

[sn8k]

Yeah I messed up...... that demo was old... I didnt know the old demo was attached to that label i tried posting.

Really nice. The gameplay is unique. Well done.

[TheMajorHavoc]

Thanks guys!  A good bit of work left to do.

 Please also check out my finished "port" of Alien vs Predator.

 I should have posted it in this forum originally but it is wrongly resting in the hacks section:

[TheMajorHavoc]

Hey guys just wanted to let you know this project will continue as soon in as I get time.

I am in the devastation area from Hurricane Ida and going on day 12 without power. On top of that, my wife and I have contracted Covid . I am in day 5 and battling fever every day. She is handling it a lot better than me and hasn't run any. 

[Prizrak]

Take all the time you need and take care of yourself and the family.

Dealing with COVID and the damage from Ida are far more important right now.  I hope things get better soon for you.

9 days without power and a week in a Red Cross shelter for me for Hurricane Ida. Hoping you get your power soon!

Are you okay? It's been a month since you last posted, so I just wanted to check in on you and make sure that you're alright now and survived everything. Even though we've never met, I'm still concerned for you, as nobody deserves to have to deal with both of those things at the same time. Hope everything has gotten better since then!

  Hey I appreciate that man .

  I have been extremely busy with work even before I got through Covid.

  I handle IT infrastructure across multiple sites that got destroyed from the storm.

 

  Regarding Doom 2600,  I am "slowly" writing a routine to handle the display of items & doors.
