@watchful thanks for the link, I’ve just heard about the new SNES & Mega Drive 32X Ports, but didn’t know anything about this one for the 3DO.
As soon as I get my little Retro-Corner running again, this will be the first thing I’ll try! 🙂

Yeah totally, this game is a must for DOS-Gamers, you have my vote sir! 🙂

I remember liking & being frustated at the same time by X-Wing back in the day.
When I first played Tie Fighter (nearly) everything frustrating from X-Wing was removed and pure joy+fun was left on the table.
Definitely one of the best DOS-Games.
If someone is interested how Tie Fighter sounds on a KORG 05R/W (General MIDI), I uploaded some footage on YouTube 2-3 years ago.

Hey everyone, this is my first forum-post, hoping I don’t come accross as too annoying. 😉
Just a couple of years ago (roundabout 2021) I “treated” myself with a 3do / Panasonic FZ-10 from Japan.
Just gonna say: this was a weird rabbithole to get into. 🙂
Of course one of the first things I had to checkout was the Doom-Port and it was a wild ride…
First of all, the initial presentation is great, especially the music.
Just when you start the first Level, is where it starts to crumble.
How about a big screen-frame to keep a “good” framerate on the hardware?
The controls are also the worst, I’m not too sure if you can get a better exprerience with 3rd-Party Controllers.
For a kid playing Doom in the original Port on a 486 back in the day, I’m not so sure this Port would have done anything for me back then.
I attached some screenshots from my OBS-Records, if you want to see more I can provide more footage.
I’m exited to hear about many other wild Port-experiences of you all.
Best regards from Germany
