For Doom’s 30th anniversary, one fan has complied everything that the first-person shooter can run on
There have been countless big celebrations Fate 30th anniversary, but one fan has decided to scour the internet and find all the ways you can play the classic first-person shooter.
A Twitter user has gone to great lengths to compile everything that can run Fate. There's everything from ultrasound scanners and thermostats to a McDonald's Tetris McNugget and whatnot Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller. Although the chainsaw controller may not be the best way to experience Fate or any game for that matter, it's certainly better than some of the other, stranger options.
Although it rhymes, Fate riding a broom isn't the best way to kill hordes of demons; there is also the option to play the FPS game on an Etch-A-Sketch and on a Sony Ericsson K800i.
Initially, fans could play Fate on the Microsoft Disk operating system (MS-DOS). While this old-fashioned way may not be accessible now, there is a way to best emulate the original Fate.
Chocolate doom is a Fate source port that accurately reproduces the original experience of the FPS, the same way it was played in the 1990s. While this source port is historically accurate, adding mods is also an option if you want to spice up the original experience to your own taste.
The co-founders of id Software, the studio behind it FateJohn Carmack and John Romero, reunited in one Twitch stream to reminisce about the past thirty years. Romero explains how Doom represented a technical sweet spot before FPS games like Quake and full 3D acceleration complicated development and limited how many enemies could squeeze onto a screen. Carmack also recalled how he initially thought that id Software could sell (Doom) in a brown paper bag based on its quality alone.
