We've certainly seen some impressive projects through the years on retro hardware, for example showing how well Sam's Journey and Super Mario performed on a C64 was impressive enough. But now it looks as if we are about to go one step further. As thanks to a heads up from a good friend of ours on Twitter, we have seen an incredible demake of Doom running on the Pico-8 by the name of 'POOM'
Doom is an FPS game made by id Software and originally released in 1993 for DOS. It was ported the following year for the Jaguar, Linux, PC-98 and the Sega 32X. It was again ported in 1995 for the 3DO and Windows (aka Doom95). In 1996, it was ported for the SNES/Super Nintendo and in 2001, it was ported for the Gameboy Advance. This version however is equally impressive as a demake squashed into the confines of the Pico-8, as it not only looks amazing, but features 6 levels of kick ass Doom action playable online and Pico hardware!
