Yeah its a little tastless. Incidentally Doom isn't decade old yet, its just over half a decade old.

[Guest T-N-T]

Yes Teppic, I believe the copyright date of the original Doom was 1993 if I'm not mistaken so it still has about 3 years to go :)

[Guest Kaopectate]

you bring up a good point...if doom 3 is coming out around 2002...when 2003 rolls around are they gonna release a tenth anniversary edition...like depths of doom + doom3...if they do that, wouldn't they have to do some heavy modification as well to at least make it run at a normal speed on SUPER FAST computers....doom ran on like 386/66 or 486/66..by that time we should be at about 2.2Ghz..that's scary...

[stphrz]

The Doom engine is clipped at 35 fps. That means it will run no faster on a 2 Ghz computer than on a 133 Mhz computer. The advantage of the 2 Ghz computer is that you could run Doom at much higher resolutions without any dips below 35 fps.

[Peter Heinemann]

In the port "DosDooM" you can get rid of this limitation:
Just type "-singletics" at the command-line.

"-singletics Turns off 35 fps max framerate. DOSDoom plays as fast as possible."

[stphrz]

Yeah, but what happens when you do that? The game is no longer playable right. It's like watching a time demo.

...I once started to watch a timedemo (I was bored ;) and I decided to start a new game, while the demo was still playing. Guess what? The game was playing as fast as the time demo! Dude!

It was for Doom.exe (same with doom2.exe), but I wonder if it works with ports... I'll test it out with Zdoom. =)

UPDATE!

It's the same with Zdoom. Just make a demo with -record, and stand around for a min or so, and then -timedemo the demo, and start a new game, and it should work. Another weird thing, the more action on screen and baddies, as well as getting hit, the game slows a little bit. It was kinda like the cheat in AvsP where the more action around you, the slower time went. FUN. =)

[DiSTuRBeD]

I ran a timedemo in boom, i had like 750 fps.

750/35 = aprrox 22 times faster than normal

and my PC aint even good, a PII233. Imagine playing in timedemo on a 2ghz :-o
