Heh I remember the Genesis one. Too bad that it was a hoax, but it was a very convincing-looking one. If Doom could be done on the Genesis, it would really look sort of what the (fake) screenshots show (and there are actually FPS games on the Genesis, like DN3D, which also play surprisingly smooth).

Corrected buffed.de link ; http://www.buffed.de/Doom-2-Hell-on-Earth-PC-237302/

They have 2 rather big magazine scans and a translation of the intro ;
"Doom 2 ist der Nachfolger von Doom und kam 1994 auf den Index. Seit 2011 ist es von der Liste der indizierten
Spiele gestrichen und kann wieder frei verkauft werden"

"Doom 2 is the sequel to doom and apeared on the index in 1994. Since 2011 it was scraped from the list of indexed
games, so it can be sold freely again."

The index they write about concerns the 'Bundes-test for youth endangering media', Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien

Hee hee! What he didn't know is that 32X Doom doesn't use any colors beyond the Genesis' color palette, although it may have displayed more than 64 at one time. I dunno, still wouldn't have looked that posterized.

Total Chaos though, now that's some radical shit right there. Looks like a high-end early aughties PC game, maybe even early XBOX.

Where did you get that from? AFAIK the 32x had a proper "chunky" HiColor (15-bit) display, with none of the bit-planar and tile-based arrangements found in the Genesis and most 2D consoles/arcades. It was by no means limited to the Genesis' palette, though it could use the Genesis' video output as an overlay for 2D graphics. This was not mandatory though, even if most games used a mixed Genesis/32X display, rather than pure 32X.

During gameplay, the only thing handled Mega Drive-side was the HUD. The actual game window was purely 32X-side.

Love the thread title!

Thank you, i tried hard to make it worthy of the WTF? tag. :)

It is becoming rather hard to find old websites and scanned pages because they where on old websites...
Google its war against flashing banners on websites killed them in the search results, or people simply stopped
renting their parked server space, or the servers died...

The archive.org should have its own built in search engine with the ease and power like those of google, bing,
duckduckgo, yahoo, yandex, lxquik, startpage, etc.

While lacking, you can find quite a few sites using the Wayback Machine if you're patient.

https://archive.org/web/

Or you can search it using Google with the "site:" prefix.

https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aarchive.org+DOOM

Then there's the 'Game and Gamer Magazines' collection, for example.

As funny as that discussion about Doom II's difficulty is, I totally identify with it. I like to experiment with different combinations of WADs and mods, but I suck at the game.

There was a Megadrive game called Bloodshot / Battle Frenzy which sustained me after I'd played Doom, but before we could afford a PC that could run it.

It was actually a pretty decent "3D" shooter. I remember it had one particularly innovative weapon called the Breaker, which fired a fragmentation rocket basically - when you released the fire button, the rocket broke up and spread smaller missiles through a ~90 degree arc. Used skilfully you could get some tremendously satisfying multikills with it.

I relate to it when playing keyboard only on U.V. or Nightmare, or when going through many pwads ever since i stopped caring about what you could call 'hadcore' gaming. :)
