Vince at deater.internet has lately up to date their port of Doom to the Atari 2600 (through a 16k cartridge).
The sport is full! It’s not the complete recreation, however it is sufficient to do a speedrun (you possibly can beat unique Myst in a short time solely visiting a tiny a part of the sport for those who already know all of the solutions).
At present you possibly can stroll round an honest quantity of Myst Island. You may flip the marker switches. You may take a look at the brothers’ books. You may go to D’ni and get each endings there. You may resolve the fireside puzzle. You may resolve the clock puzzle. You may decide up the pink/blue pages and get each endings with these. You may go up the elevator within the library to see a touch.
The sport engine makes use of ZX02 compression for every scene. Every scenes’ graphics are restricted (as a result of varied {hardware} limitations) to 256 compressed bytes, which ends up in having to simplify the graphics to suit. Every scene has an uneven playfield. Graphics are 40×48 to simplify issues a bit.
Every line will be two colours, foreground and background. The background is a single colour. The foreground colour can change every 4-line block. sprite1 is an 8-block large supply of extra colour, so one additional colour per line however solely in an 8-block large column of the display. You additionally get an non-compulsory one-block large vertical line (missile0) which is identical colour because the pointer. The engine permits the right-side of the display to alternate background colour every-other-line.
