- Yes, I know many people has uploaded this game's video on CZcams however last times some people can't believe the game works on regular ZX Spectrum 128K.
So it works. Therefore this video is different than others: on the beginning I loaded Computer Tester to display what machine is that (ZX Spectrum 128+). Then I reset it and loaded DOOM game via diskdrive.
Yes, it slows down when a hero opens the door (it's because Russian Spectrum - Pentagon - has a bit more tacts on its 3,5Mhz CPU) but still works fine on normal ZX Spectrum 128 and its 3,5Mhz CPU.
However please don't expect Pentium effects. :)
That's still old good ZX Spectrum 8-bit computer.
It's a game for diskdrive but if You wanna load and test it on real Spectrum128, then there has been made a snapshot:

absolutely amazing, people just dont realize how capable this machine really was
true
It's 1985 and Sinclair's new 128k model comes bundled with this.
What a Christmas that would have been.
Sometimes it's hard to tell where madness ends and genius begins.
The music in this version of doom is amazing!!!!
The enemies actually turn around unlike the SNES version.
I think they also turn around in the original PC version and ports made since the PS1?
I was going to say this looks like crap, but then I looked at the hardware specs and couldn't figure out how they pulled off as much as they did. I wouldn't want to play it myself, Brutal Doom has spoiled me, but as far as the ZX Spectrum goes this is friggin' awesome.
You think that's awesome?
Sandisk Clip Zip can play Doom on it's little 96x96 display if you install Rockbox.
...
Yeah.
Kaka carrot cake
***** Smaller display = easier job.
Not even to speak of the San Disk's 80MHz 32bit CPU va, the Spectrum's 3,5MHz 8bit CPU!
That's about 90times the performance on the Zips's side, while still only considering CPU. So what's awesome?
Ali Arib
it's TINY?
***** Sandisk Clip Zip (and almost every other MP3/MP4 player with color screen) is a lot more powerful than the Spectrum: they use to mount a 60 to 100 MHz 32-bit ARM CPU rated at 60 to 100 MIPS, while the Spectrum uses a 3.5 MHz 8-bit Z80, capable of up to *one* MIPS. Also, the screen resolution for the Spectrum is much higher (256 by 192), so it has to paint five times more pixels every frame. That's why this is really awesome :-) .
Holy cow, check out that rockin' theme!
+SuperJustinChannel so damn catchy !... I would like to listen to the whole thing
That music's an actual banger
Can’t stop dancing.
I can hear AVGN's voice screaming...
DOOM ON THE ZX SPECTRUM ?!
I liked this music
that music is so awesome
This looks pretty nice for a ZX Spectrum and nice chiptune music theme, guess the audio channel is not available for sound effects ^^;
+Gato303co I guess so, unless they'd be made on beeper.
+yerzmyey Take my *thumbsup* 👍 since votes are disabled ;-)
The soundtrack be OFF THE CHAIN THOUGH. I mean that holy shit I love this XD
This should've been the launch title of the machine, back in '82 ;)
This shouldn't even be remotely possible. Really good job!
Love the OS red boot screen... like something out of Terminator or Robocop. 😆
I think the same, it really excites.
This music is amazing!
Still better than Call of Duty.
i feel HUGE lack of 'LOVE' button beween LIKE and DISLIKE.
Although i am more Commodore fan, i can tell whether something is good or not. Definetely this implementation of Doom as well as its music completely ROCKS
anyone here because of the AVGN?
Yup. Couldn’t believe it could play on a spectrum
✋️
me
I am cry about music...
I came here because of a doomworld post.
I think this engine would be better suited to Wolfenstein
But then you can't claim your running doom on a zx spectrum
I'm sure I liked this video 14 years ago. 🤔🤔🤔
Doom in a club!
ABSOLUTELY TECHNO
I can't believe this is an actual port.
WTF? why is this music so JAMMIN!?
agreed, this is snes donkey kong 1 or golden axe on the genesis level of hard driving beats.
Is rtx on?
Better than 32x music
Had ZX as my first computer. Never heard music as good as this 👍
The BGM is still awesome as hell !
The music is so great in this game it's like retro
+Hanh Nguyen It's on an old computer with simple music capabilities.
Thanks for presenting this - it's amazing what the speccie could achieve!
Not sure ti'd be as much fun as Dynamite Dan or Attic Attack but sure looks good :)
Hey Yerzmyey - Can I use some footage from this video for use in mine? I will include an on screen credit to your channel
Hi there;
Whhy not - it's OK, I suppose. :) :)
yerzmyey thank you sir much appreciated
behind the scenes of the mancave lol!
I loved my spectrum, but this game was virtually unplayable....
Is there a way to get this soundtrack because it's amazing!
its free give it
It's like running Battlefield 5 on the Neo Geo.
Alright this is actually pretty good for a zx FUCKING SPECTRUM
Then I guess Crysis is out of the question?
Wow, even booting the computer is cool.
It's like from the point of view of terminator.
Exactly what i thought
The music at 2·20 then 3·30 is brilliant
YES
Its amazing how far gaming has come, respect to the beginning stages.
Не ожидал) если бы застал спектр в своё время, эта игра была бы одной из ходовых. Музончик крутой кстати
Hell, yeah! Speccy forever! Still play it.
It's definitely an upgrade on the C64 version that I saw.
Да, было время, убил несколько дней на эту демо-игру двадцать лет назад.
I miss the days when FPS had more colour than black, grey & brown.
Thanks for showing this game.
This soundtrack has gotta be some of the worlds very first techno
No, very first techno was created at the beginning 90's and game is from 1996. Some composers tried to make such soundtrack for video game but only on Amiga it sounded good back then. Good example is Project X and Stardust soundtrack.
Ahh, see theres my mistake, i was thinking this was from the early 80s
this would have kicked arse in the 80s
Yuri Gagarin Hell Yeah!
incredible work, am amazed at how fully this seems to work
Awesome!
The Calculator version was great as well 👍
Music cool
😎
I feel the same lol
i like this soundtrack better than the original
Impressive, it's really amazing what alot of the old 8-bit computers like the speccy and the c64 were really capable of
Nice, dude. There were also several "Windows-like" desktops for ZX Spectrum but finally I think the best are "NortonCommander-like" GUIs for ZX.
Techno-Doom
That soundtrack is kinda better than E1M1!
WOW!
if only this could have been available back in '82!
Amazing stuff, AND our 3 month old loves the soundtrack!,
music
Hi, yes - it is actual ZX music. It is PSG, which means it uses AY chip.
Nice music! That would sound incredible if an actual band did a cover of that with real instruments.
I don't know if someone will read this comment, but here's the in-game music:

Sweet, thanks!
Wait... this is sweet, but what's an .ftc file? I've never heard of that before, how do you play it?
Fantastic! Amazing we can still squeeze more technical chicanery out of these old machines...Now just waiting on Rage for the Vic 20.
soundtrack is amazing :-)
I would love to play this version on ZDoom. Somebody get on that!
The jammin music has to be the best thing to come out of this.
Awesome music!!!
Despite looking horrific, this would have blown my tiny little mind back in the late 80's on my ZX.
Awesome soundtrack too.
Nice music!
So many games I never realised got ported to the spectrum.
It's limited, but the fact that this was accomplished at all is amazing.
That's a pretty rockin' take on the first level theme
HEAVY CHIPTUNE MIX BRO!! XD
Would be hard o implement a strafe command?
There may be no sound effects, but the excellent music more than makes up for it!
I like the song
I always am inspired by the ingenuity of coders in situations like this, some people can make hardware do backflips if the will is there, a way can often be found, things that to some extent seem when suggested an impossible idea on such a platform. long live the coder.
The computers and computer gaming were so visionary back then.
Because many people plays the games. There are about 100 new quality games for ZX Spectrum per year lately. And people still want more.
Spectrum ZX always wins on music terms
Seems like it'd be hard to judge distance in this. But that soundtrack is kick-ass. I want a midi of it. Or at least a youtube upload of it.
It is also a 4-bit sound chip. It's called AY. As for the game, it was a "home brew" game, as far as I know.
Gotta love how the picture with the logo and the doom guy in it says DOOM, but the menu says DOOM II.
It says Doom I. They removed the extra Roman numeral.
***** Ah proven wrong again... Well... Why didn't they just use the Doom 1 logo? Like the one with the doom guy in it?
Yeah i don't get it either.
The music was better than the graphics :)
People better be glad this was able to work on the ZX Spectrum..... It looks amazing for it, not much color bleeding which surprises me and some people, but only the gun has it. I bet the controls were BUTCHERED due to how he is moving.
I miss music like this. Bring it back, damnit!
Still find it insane what clever people can do with old hardware.
man the ZX can pump some good tunes, the castlevania soundtrack on the the ZX is amazing too
The music is badass here. :)
This is mad impressive!
That's a Fucking heavy SoundTrack Dude.
WOW ❗❗ 😮😮😮
💖💖💖
that's really well made omg
Might I ask if you could re-upload the mp3? I'd love to play this on my 128k
Does anyone have the track that plays during gameplay or knows it's name?
+SpiralPegasus see my comment above
For the Spectrum this looks and sounds awesome
Fantastic work. Just speechless...
are the graphics different? i know the music is
Never thought 3d games could run on ZX. Impressive!
The horrifying reality of what we settled for 30 years ago, with the added benefit of 30 years of game design knowledge. Great stuff mate :D
I am curious about the potential success of a monochrome version on the Atari ST.
Really... I don't know why I put the descriptions here if nobody reads them. Check out this thread (you can get the games from there) and delete spaces
" worldofspectrum . org / forums /? show thread . php ? t = 25860 "
And load it on your own ZX128K.
As someone who played doom on a 386sx16mhz laptop, orange monochrome plasma screen, dooms screen reduced to minimum postage stamp size, double pixel size setting...... I gotta say this looks atleast as playable as what I put hours into at 11 years of age.... Well done.
