Looks roughly as smooth as it looked on my 25mhz 386

  On my 33mhz (I'm almost, but not quite sure about the frequency) 486 SX (yeah ...) it ran OK until the levels where you'd get a lot of monsters. In those, I had to zoom in to the smallest possible screen size and even then it was barely acceptable. So while the video is impressive and I couldn't do something like this myself, I was glad when I saw how bad it ran, as that computer of mine would a little bit more than 30yo today, so to have that beat by a 40yo printer controller would make me think I could have done something to have it run better back then!

    Playing DooM on a slow machine was training for any future fire fights you might need to do in a dark room lit only by flash bulbs.

    I had a 386 with 40Mhz (which does not exist, so in hindsight it must have been a clone chip) and 4MB Ram. I could run all Doom 2 levels with reasonable speed, except the last one, where 4mb just wasn't enough.

      Probably AMD’s: https://redhill.net.au/c/c-4.php https://redhill.net.au/c/c-4.php
