• Doom for 16-bit DOS computers

  I was wondering that was well since Wolfenstein got a CGA port: https://github.com/jhhoward/WolfensteinCGA

  The CGA mode is playable, but pretty bad looking as would be expected. On a Tandy 1000 with the Tandy graphics mode enabled, it looks much better. It'd be cool to be able to run Doom in TGA as well.

  There's an 8088 port of Wolfenstein 3D, which is basically the same thing, right? https://github.com/jhhoward/WolfensteinCGA

• Wolfenstein 3D CGA on an IBM 5150 PC

  Attempted this to see how well this project runs on the original IBM PC. Pretty amazing that it runs at all! This port was done by 'jhhoward' - the files can be found on GitHub, I found out about it at the VCF Forums.

  I'm honestly still trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I got the compact flash to use with a XT-CF-Lite v4. I'm still trying to figure out what DOS I'd like to use. I can get the OEM MSDOS 3.22 installed onto the drive, but that version's max partition size is 32MB, which isn't ideal when the compact flash is 4GB. FreeDOS supports that size and pre-386, but it was a pain to get it on there and is a bit overkill for a computer this old. Right now I'm considering a later MSDOS, but haven't decided on which one.

  As far as software goes I'm waiting on finalizing the DOS before exploring games and development, but it was fun was to be able to run this port of Wolfenstein 3D:

  Besides all that I'm thinking of maxing out the RAM (it's 640k now, but can take an additional 128k for video), and maybe adding a real time clock and network card. I do have another Tandy 1000 TX, so I could see how 80's networking worked. That is probably another can of worms though.
