To be fair, the original Doom was indeed a game that was available for the Sega Genesis or Mega Drive. But this involved an add-on called the 32X. This allowed the 16-bit console to run 32-bit games. This current attempt is one that involves running the game without the add-on. Retro game maker Uniq Games got the original Doom to run on the legacy console via a Mega EverDrive cartridge. It runs pretty smoothly, and is actually quite comparable to the original experience on a Windows 95 machine of its time. And it’s a massive improvement over a previous attempt just last month. PCGamesN reports that the previous attempt by Twitter user @krikzz ran in greyscale, and you couldn’t even move. The same Twitter user also showed a clip of themselves running the new version of Doom on the Mega EverDrive cartridge.
