Wolfenstein 3D on the Apple IIGS

Me playing Wolfenstein 3D on a real Apple IIGS running at 10mhz with the help of a ZIPGSX card. Even at that speed, the game runs pretty slow in full screen mode. You need at least 12mhz to run it properly on a IIGS.

So im an amiga-guy.. and this I admit isnt that bad atall! I love seeing this ported to all the platforms.

Yeah, it's a very nice port and really showed off what such a limited system was capable of with the right guys writing the software (and maybe a little help with an accelerated CPU :) I need to increase mine a few more MHz to play this game smoothly in its full screen mode. One day...

Whoa, I had no idea of this port's existence! And it's freeware, too! And ported with the help of "Burger" Heineman. How have I not heard of this until now, haha.

Thanks for showing this! I'd been looking for something else to use with my Transwarp card.

@phreakindee

What speed does your Transwarp go up to?

[Apple2gs]

@phreakindee Early TransWarp GS cards shipped with only a 6 MHz 65C816, however they can run as high as 18.75 MHz with some modification. For a modest speed upgrade however, you just need to replace the CPU and oscillator--both are socketed and removable.

For my own TWGS, I popped in a 7 MHz 65C816 and overclocked it to 8 MHz. My Zip GS card on the other hand is running at 12.5 MHz (I had it at 15 MHz at one point, but bumped it down).

wow finally get to see in on real hardware. faster then the emulation that i tried.

so you finally got a transwarp for your IIgs

[phreakindee]

@BrianPicchi Mine goes up to 6.3MHz. It's a version 8H, revision 1.4x and I can't seem to find any information on this particular version of the Transwarp online. According to what sources I've found, most seemed to go up to only 3.58MHz.
