One feature of FastDOOM I haven't seen mentioned here are all the weird video modes, some interesting examples:

- IBM MDA text mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op2tr2lGK6Y

- EGA & Plantronics ColorPlus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxx6lJvrITk

- Classic blue & pink CGA: https://youtu.be/rD0UteHi2qM

- CGA, 320x200x16 with 'ANSI from Hell' hack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut0V1nGcTf8

- Hercules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEumutuyBBo

Most of these run worse than with VGA, presumably because of all the color remapping etc

Any love for Tandy Graphics Adapter? I'd hate to have to run in CGA :( would need a 286 build for my Tandy 1000 TL/2, if it was still alive.


That's awesome, just a great demonstration why these aspects of the game should be separated. It reminds me of the "modern" Clean Architecture for back-end applications.


The IBM MDA text mode is terrible... Love it!
