Hell if the Genesis had slightly highly higher clock speed and ram, the probability of scaled down Neo-Geo ports wouldn't have been out of the question either. So just imagine what sort of hardware tricks could have been done on the Genesis if it was pushed to it's absolute limit like the Neo-Geo was. The Neo-Geo having a much larger 214kb of Ram and 84kb for it's video. Main differences however was that the CPU for the Geo was clocked at 12Mhz (compared to only 7Mhz for the Genesis) the biggest thing though was the Genesis only having 72kb of system ram and 64kb for video. Look at early titles such as Magician Lord which could probably done on the SNES or Genesis without much difference in sprite quality and compared to more exotic titles even using pseudo 3D cgi graphics such as Pulstar and super detailed animation in Garou: MOTW.Īlso to note both the Neo-Geo and Sega Genesis / Mega Drive both used the Motorola 68k as it's main processor and Zilog z80 co-processor (in the Genesis, which was mainly used for audio.)

For a console to debut in 1990 and last until 2004. This project extracts the images, sounds, maps, etc. The SNES version took longer, it didn't release until fall '95, but it's more complete as a result. The rush job was 32X Doom, which is super shoddy because Sega rushed it out the door in time for Christmas '94, even though it was basically only two thirds of a game (all of episode 3 is missing!) and the audio is terrible. Like Doom that game plays in a black border, but has a higher framerate than the other Super FX 1 games (Star Fox, Vortex, Stunt Race FX), and I find it pretty fun, while I don't like Vortex or Star Fox in part because of their framerates. Sculptured Software had previously made a SNES Super FX game, the also pretty good Dirt Trax FX. Compare SNES Wolf 3D to SNES Doom, for example - Doom needed a Super FX 2 chip to have a probably worse framerate than the addon-chip-free SNES Wolf 3D mostly because of how much more complex Doom is (thoguh the resolution also might be higher).

Sculptured Software did a great job! Of course, Doom is a much more technically demanding game than Wolf 3D, even if the Genesis can do Wolf this good that doesn't mean it'd run Doom just as well. It's even got stuff the Jaguar version didn't, such as the correct lighting, light changes, collapsing ceilings, and such.

id would, I'm sure, have based it off of the Jaguar version, just like Carmack did in his 32X port of the game (is that what you're thinking of?).Īlso, the SNES version is really impressive. It's easy enough to tell this because the game is based on PC Doom, not id's Jaguar Doom, unlike all other '90s console versions of Doom. SNES Doom was made by Sculptured Software, not id.
