Oh neat - I remember seeing this in Fabien Sanglard's book about Doom but I didn't realise that the source code had been released.

Re: Doom3do: DOOM for the 3DO
#32I just wished more consoles were successful than the major three we have now. If Jaguar, 3do were still around we would be in a better universe.
I don’t know. It feels like things always settle into two or three big players and maybe a few tiny niche players.
If Jaguar succeeded, maybe MS wouldn’t have made it and we’d still have three. Or MS would have bought Atari, so still three.
3D0 had a very interesting business model, but I’m not sure it’s sustainable for the industry. We seem addicted to powerful subsidized consoles.

Try actually reading, it's the original port.
When one sees the last commit as 29 days ago, or the previous commit as 8 years ago, one can easily assume it wasn't code from 1995. So again. Why is this even interesting?

It's funny how you bother to look at the commit dates, but not the README and repository description

github (and git) wasn't around in 1995 One should read the readme's. let people enjoy things.
Seriously.
Different strikes for different folks.
I love stuff like this. It’s computer history. It’s interesting from a technical perspective as well as being a snapshot of culture.

#36This was the same person "Burger" [1] who worked on The Bard's Tale. I can't even tell you how many hours I spent playing those games as a kid. > This is the temple of the Mad God.

Oh wow, I had no idea! I played The Bard's Tale a lot when I was a kid on a DOS machine, making my own maps on grid paper and stuff.
I just bought The Bard's Tale trilogy remaster[0] on steam yesterday, and it's great! It's just that sweet spot of being very close to the original, while still having many QoL upgrades to iron out the more painful parts. I highly recommend people who like dungeon crawling types of games (like legend of grimrock) to give it a go!

The responses you are seeing is what happens when you lack self awareness and humility.

#38Interesting that the 3DO used an ARM processor (ARM60 I think). That's pretty unique for consoles.
Re: Doom3do: DOOM for the 3DO
#39Wonderful to see this stuff online... For those of you who don't know the utter sh*tshow that was the 3DO version of Doom, and the full story of Randy Scott and Art Data Interactive, here's an article that's well worth the read. https://www.badgamehalloffame.com/doom-3do/ TLDR; Randy Scott knew nothing about software development, but that didn't stop him from getting people in his church to invest $100k to start Art…
