Doom did run on the Amiga

https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Amiga#:~:

It was ported to the spectrum too,

"Doom was ported to the ZX Spectrum, but not officially. It was a fan-made, unauthorized port by a Russian team called Digital Reality. This port was developed for the ZX Spectrum 128K and required the TR-DOS operating system, which was common on Russian Spectrum clones. "

Those Wolfenstein clones that are on Spectrum are a mess and nothing enjoyable.
I find Eidolon to be much more fun.
3.5Mhz, 64k of RAM and 8bit registers have its limits.
What would have changed the history is IBM going with 68k instead of Intel.

No. The reason DOOM took off is because IBMs were already in everyone's office and it spread through shareware. I first played DOOM when my dad took me to his job for a day. That's also why boss keys were a thing back then.

The ZX Spectrum is such a weak piece of shit that whatever you get running on it looks like vomit anyways.
But you could do some pretty cool things on an Amiga. Doom on an Amiga, released officially, would perhaps help extend its life but one game alone wouldn't change the computing or gaming history. I mean, it didn't exactly help the Jaguar or 32x too much did it?

I know there's a port for the Amiga but does it run decently on original hardware or does it need one of these aftermarket upgrades?

No, Doom was popular but it was old news after 1 year. Soon after this people heard about the ps1 and were starting to hear about real 3d games like Nascar racing. Even getting Tekken wouldn't have saved it. By 1993 even finding an Amiga in a store was getting harder while clone pc's were everywhere. Say your a small computer store in 1993, you decide to build some pcs so you buy some cases and motherboards while shopping around with different suppliers to make an easy profit, then you want to stock some Amiga's, you have to deal with the single Amiga head office in your state or country and they'll send you some computers if they think you are an important enough customer. Want some replacement chips for repairs or upgrades, well they have 100's of other customers too and they the only ones who sell them.

It was Sinclaires own fault, they could have increased the specs every 3 years at least like Apple did.

The actual doom source ported to 68k requires a beefy upgrade. The game is so x86 centric that it would require a major overhaul to fix that. But there are not-doom fan games that have doom-like features like sectors and variable height rooms and such that run at a decent speed on a 500. But they are doom-like and not doom. But if nothing else they put the 90s "gloom" to terrible shame which is always good because it was always such a shit thing that that was advertised as the amiga's answer to doom when it was so clearly terrible.
Anonymous No.11941801

I don't think there is anything about doom that makes it overly x86 centric. Its just vanilla C code for the most part. The real issue is the Amiga's video hardware.

That's a weird place to dig your own grave, there were far more ports on both systems than original games that weren't ported elsewhere and those were/are more popular too. Literally go dig up any "top 100" games list anywhere.
/vr/ is the only place that talks about "exclusives" for these core retro gaming nostalgia machines since this place is filled with people who aren't old enough to actually remember and need some special reason to care.
Why don't you just play the games YOU liked on the ZX Spectrum when you were young?

I mean, in theory I'm old enough to remember the Spectrum, since it was still going into the 90's. It's just I had better options. All you need is a handful of DOS shareware games, and a Namco arcade compilation, and you have already bested the entire Spectrum library. That's not even to mention Megadrive, Super Nintendo, or any system that came after.

But you don't. There were great adventure and strategy games as well as 'vector graphics' style 3D games and isometric games and a mountain of hardware add ons as well as platformers, side scollers, top downs and yes very playable games like rtype, lightforce even operation wolf with a lightb gun,sabre wolf, atik attack,elite, knightlore, the great escape, gyroscope, sherlock, enigma force, lords of midnight, dun darach, starglider etc etc . DOS shareware games? That's the Mid 90s well over a decade after the spectrum unless you were one of a handful of people on the internet in the early 90s AOL internet only launched in 89

>It's just I had better options.
You were a connsolefaggot, a child who need a rom cartridge to chew on and bing and sonic. Stuff you had to get price gouged on because you could not copy tapes or do mcuh because you were a kid.That's ok but don't shit on stuff that was before your time and know nothing about. Do yourself a favour and fuck off and play zork. Actually learn something about retro . If you want to compare 16 bit consoles to computers then compared them to 16 bit computers like the Amiga and Atari ST and 286, which frankly shit all over the snes for games, having new techologies like mice, keyboards and joysticks running stuff like civilisation, sim city, utopia and populous. The audio on stuff like the Atari ST, it found a place in professional recordinng studios running Cubasis then thre is you with your fucking SNES (the megadrive was a better console in that era, still just a console). I had all these machines and 286s and 386 DXs etc. I like consoles too but then as now, gaming IS computers. The games are written on them and this is true for ALL consoles.
