View Full Version : Hacks & Homebrews: Genesis Doom Project
The article has been taken down, as the project turned out to be a hoax. See my last post here for more info.

Why was Doom chosen? I rather would have seen something abit more obscure (source code permitting) ported. I rather would have seen Rise of the Triad or Wolf 3D, esp on the 32X.
There are no good Windows ports of Rise of the Triad, YET I can see a 32X port working better than a windows port, and looking and running good.
Ooooh, Rise of the Triad would definitely be something cool to see! Perhaps he's doing Doom to kind of test the waters. I'd assume that the data he gathers from this port could be used to make future ports easier and better.

He could probably fit a lot more of Wolf 3D on a megadrive cart, but I am a Doom fan at heart. I will be very interested to see how this turns out. :)

It's an interesting challenge at the very least I suppose.

I would buy a cart if he made one. Would be interesting to see it compared to the SNES version, which has a Super FX chip.

If he can make it playable, he'll already be far ahead of the SNES version.

hmmm,genesis could have used chips but sore they didnt,then they had a obvious advantage above snes ill bett,like a small advantage like a chip inside to clock upp the speed or a chip inside to enable more sound just like VR to add like some PW channels,in hehe streets of rage 4 or shinobi 4 if they were thinking the right way back then.a little bit of upgrade couldnt hurt.
I received an email informing me that this was a hoax, and King's website (http://www.geocities.com/doomgenesis/) confirms it with this:
Okay, may as well come clean. Sadly, this project was a hoax, inspired by James Catalano's Atari 2600 Doom ruse. The screenshots are fake, and I am no programmer. I was curious as to what sort of reactions I would get with such a "project," and on that note would like to thank everyone who showed interest in the idea of porting Doom to our beloved Genny. I really would like to see a game like Doom running on Genesis, and at the very least I hope I've sparked a little renewed interest in Genesis homebrew gaming. I hope there's no hard feelings and encourage anyone with additional questions/comments to send me an e-mail. In the meantime I will leave the rest of the site as is.
Needless to say, I'm both disappointed and pissed. I've talked to him about this project and he knew I was writing an article on it. What was the point of this whole ruse? Why pretend to be porting Doom to the Genesis? All he's done is waste people's time and energy for something that served no purpose at all.
I've since taken down the article.

This... upsets me. What was the point of making that all up?
It was a good article though, Melf. Maybe it could be archived somewhere on the site, with a disclaimer stuck on it?

That's really too bad. But I guess it goes to show that you shouldn't believe everything you read about.
Thing is, I talked to him before witing the article and everything. He knew it was coming but chose to be deceitful anyway.

Seriously, this is like that guy in the UK who wanted to turn on every water faucet in the country, and call it art. I prefer to call it vandalism, but whatever.
Ass.

Yes, I would certainly kill you.
