Doom



Game: Doom
  Developer: id Software

Publisher: GT Interactive Software
Year: 1993
Genre: First Person Shooter
Players: single - multiplayer


Doom is a fps game where you, the main protagonist battle the forces of hell, on mars. The sounds and music, atmosphere is great even if you think and compare it to more advanced graphics today. For me the first thing i was thinking when i entered the game, was what type of mountains were and how they were made in the game.

DosBox turbo config :

mount d: /storage/sdcard1/dos/
d:
cd dooms
doom

DosBox turbo advice :

DosBox turbo is using "l.ctrl" for fire with the dos game Doom. But in reality, Doom uses the default "ctrl". Switch with that. The "arrows", "escape", "enter" and "spacebar" keys are used in DosBox turbo. Quit by exiting DosBox turbo by swipe and using the virtual keyboard. Press "Y" and than exit DosBox turbo the proper way, trough his menu. Don't forget that you don't click "Manual Mode" (Disable over-write of dosbox.conf), or it will overwrite anything you do, to default. In Autoexec, put the above "DosBox turbo config". Above, dos and dooms are folders and doom is the executable file. sdcard1 is your external storage.
