Someone has ported DOOM to the new Game & Watch



Whether it's a rule, or merely an inevitability, if it exists, someone can and will port DOOM to it. YouTuber Stacksmashing has brought the game to a new and rather unexpected platform: the new Nintendo Game & Watch handheld. He details his experiences in porting the 1993 game to the system, which included having to use a version of DOOM that removes textures and replaces them with simple outlines and flat colors, in order for the game to fit onto the Game & Watch's very small storage. Getting DOOM to a playable state on such an odd system won't be the end of his exploits, either, as Stacksmashing and fellow coder Konrad Beckmann are working together on releasing a homebrew creation tool for the new Game & Watch.

    Hm makes sense, if I were to guess the number 1 problem of VR porn would be production budget
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    It's a really small niche so it makes sense the stuff isn't super high quality
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Not the production itself
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    but rather what is needed to run it properly.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    What do you mean?
