#2I think this is a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7h3H-_8N_o
If that really is vic-20 hardware... that's amazing!
Re: Doom on the Commodore VIC-20
#3More VIC-20 coolness: Anything by Viznut/PWP. Check out one of the demos, keeping in mind this runs on unexpanded hardware with less than 4KB of RAM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaFPU6oRXJ8
Some interesting write-ups about VIC-20 oddity exploited by the demoscene:

#4Doesn't this feel more like Castle Wolfenstein than Doom?

#5I would happily read a whole book about what went into this.

I think the biggest constraint on a vic-20 would have been memory. The apple II had the same CPU with some fairly impressive 3D-esque games.

...but yeah, I actually knew someone with a VIC-20 and the software for it was truly abysmal even at the time.

The Vic20 had some really good software. I still remember Gorf on it. I had a skiing game that was quite impressive for a game that used less than 3.5KB of RAM (yes that is 3.5 kilobytes).

Me, too. Maybe Fabien Sanglard can do a code review of it? I love his blog for that.

Came to say the exact same thing. (Fake) speech synthesis on VIC-20 with sung lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SdGkkp1aq8

I think the first electronic circuit I ever designed from scratch was an in-line "autofire box" for my VIC-20 joystick so I could kill at Gorf ;)
