Doom slithers and dithers its way with a 16-color Atari ST port

Doom on Atari ST.

We've come to accept over the years that we will never stop finding new platforms on which the venerable FPS Doom can be run. There will always be another system ready to take us to the depths of hell whether it's a keycap or an air hockey table. Today, however, maker and developer Jonas Eschenburg has decided to bring the classic title to the beloved classic console known as the Atari ST. The project's name, STDOOM may be unremarkable, but the work put into this project is truly remarkable.
