Splatter Posted February 20, 2008 I mentioned in another topic how I used to get Nintendo Power back in the old times. It's a strange magazine, part normal reviews and previews, part strategy guide, and part Nintendo hype machine. Anyway, I was looking at their guide for the SNES port of Doom, and was surprised to see that it said the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind had resistance to the plasma gun, taking less damage from it than other monsters do. I'm almost certain that's not the case in 1.9 PC Doom, but was it true of the Super Nintendo version, or any other? I guess it wouldn't be out of the question, considering the other oddities Doom has on the SNES, but I get the feeling that they just confused the plasma gun for the rocket launcher. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ledmeister Posted February 20, 2008 I don't have the game handy to make that specific test now, but there are a lot of little differences between the PC and SNES games when it comes to monster and projectile strengths and parameters. 0 Share this post Link to post

Mindless Rambler Posted February 20, 2008 Funny, the plasma gun is how I fight the Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind in SNES Doom. Most times I fight them they do not even have a chance to counterattack. 0 Share this post Link to post

Anyway, this egregious oversight is still better than the 32X's crappy "STRAFE ON" (not to mention box art lies, half of the game missing, shit sound and a broken ending). God, I'm not only a fanboy but a fanboy stuck in a time warp? 0 Share this post Link to post
