Not even Doom?

I own 3 of the 4 games so I have a feeling I should be able to participate this round

[Austin]

Yeah, not even DOOM. Had it last year, got rid of it though.. I'm curious as to how well it emulates, though. I'll have to try that out later.

Didn't your mother ever tell you too much emulation will make you go blind?

Doom runs well enough in emulation, though there is a minor clipping issue:



The left side is Jag Doom, notice the black bar on the right. (the right side is 32x Doom)

Out of these choices, Zero 5 all the way for me. More of a real arcade game and quite a challenging one too! I get bored playing doom for more than a few minutes anymore. Okay, maybe 10. lol MC3D would be my second choice though.

Nice, that's good to know.

I'm Doom'ed out, as I own it for multiple platforms and have completed it numerous times over the years. I would like to play Battlemorph the most...but since it has no votes I went with MC3D.

[Austin]

People are DOOM'ed out (as is myself), but have you guys tried speedrunning a specific map on the highest difficulty level? Could make for a really interesting round.

I haven't yet but I intend to this weekend. That and play through both the Jag and 32x versions of Doom a little to compare. Just waiting on my Genesis to arrive

[Dan Iacovelli]

went with zero 5, but doom or mc 3d are good too I have those
I promise to join in this time if either of those 3 are picked

[Jag_Slave]

I own all of these games, and I suck at all of them (especially Zero5)... so this should be fun

Give it a shot, it will be good to have you.

[GKC]

If it ends in a tie I don't think Austin has made any secret about which game he will give the nod to

Who can't get behind a competition of Doom though? Looking forward to it.

[Austin]

I don't think it will end in a tie.. 16 people have already placed their votes (which is actually several more than we usually get). Hm.

If it does though, I will flip a coin like I did previously for the tie between Checkered Flag and Super Burnout.

If Doom loses this will be 3 rounds in a row which I cannot compete

It lost.

I probably won't be able to compete either, unless MC3D runs fine via emulation (I'm guessing not).

[Major Havoc 2049]

At least a good game won this time around. Playing through the CF's and Bruce Lee's of the world sucks.

Yeah, that may be changing for good. I'll keep you guys posted...

Each to their own, I really like Dragon.
