Gloom on Commodore Amiga 1200 vintage home computer, with 68060 cpu.

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Gloom, a Doom clone, playing on the Commodore Amiga 1200 vintage home computer, with AGA chipset and 68060 cpu. Retro gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.
It's also here so that I can embed it, along with most of the games in my collection, on my website (see link above).

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

Love Doom clones. Does this one have a keyboard/mouse control option? Even with a very good Genesis controller keyb/mouse work better for me. Also, would love to snag an A1200, very rare in the US.

@nathanallan1 There's no keyboard/mouse control option, sadly. That would've made the game much more playable. It was joypad or keyboard only.

Great death screams, too. Much better than the generic ones everyone uses now.

[SteveBenway]

@guv859 Yes, there was some real tongue in cheek over enthusiastic voice acting here :)

i used to love this game and play it all the time.

think u need some more practice tho! lol

good vid

[SteveBenway]

@DjNicksy85 Oh yeah, I definitely need more practice. On all of my videos, I just put the game on, play and record, with no practice at all... and usually having not played the game in years, if ever at all.

Technically speaking this is more a clone of Wolfenstein than one of Doom. There weren't stairs or windows if I remember well. AlienBreed 3D was a clone of Doom, and even better as it had water pools with an animated water surface, as well as multiple floors on the same vertical space, which neither Doom or Doom 2 had. AB3D ran at less than 10 FPS on my A1200 though. :p

@SteveBenway The majority of the sounds (doors opening, screaming) are sampled from Aliens. I can hear Bishop screaming away watching this video...

I'd forgotten all about Gloom. I'm wishing I had it now. I'm going to have to get a copy.

if i remember rightly, i had a version of this game (gloom Deluxe) and im pretty sure it ran at full screen at 1x1 pixels on my 030 40mhz amiga 1200 (litte jerky tho) so i used to drop the screen down a bit.. but on an 060 processor your amiga should be able to easily play this at max settings, other games that ran well (reading other comments) Breathless, AB3dII TKG, Citadel (ran good on stock amiga) Fears, and death mask? these where well before the likes of napalm, genetic species etc...

@meowmmmmm And technically impossible, and proof that you should shut up.

[CrotchConfidence]

@meowmmmmm I played gloom on my vanilla A1200, that only had an 020. It played fine, just a bit chunky, you could put it in hi-res mode but that gave you a tiny letter-boxed window. Still, groundbreaking stuff at the time, then AB3D came out and everyone creamed their jeans. Good times.
