Can it run doom?

[niStee]

Did you try running doom on it yet?

This is the de facto standard for testing custom systems

It has a screen! -> Let's make it play Bad Apple! It is a CPU! -> Let's make a C-to-EXCEL-ASM16 compiler? Or should we get a bf compiler as well? The possibilities are endless...

[dsommers]

If you can get around the 3Hz limitation by getting Excel to do the iterated calculations quicker ....... then this might get closer to doable.

[Lizo233]

Yes,try play bad apple on it

doom is 32-bit and this is a 16-bit cpu, you can probably run snes doom in this or mod doom to be 16-bit, but vanilla doom? nah

wait what,wasn't doom a 16-bit program running on MS-DOS?

Yesn't.

The earliest version of Doom and Doom II which was for DOS, which itself is a 16-bit operating system, used an internal utility called DOS/4GW which allowed entertainment software with 32-bit quality gameplay to run on a 16-bit operating system. This was all thanks to the minimum requirement for an Intel 386 processor which was the first 32-bit x86 processor. When Doom, Doom II and Final Doom were released onto Windows 95, Windows 95 itself was a hybrid 32-bit/16-bit operating system, though Doom95 itself was a Win32 application, and Windows 95 required a 32-bit x86 processor.
