You betray the Amiga by playing DOOM!

YouKnowWho · 11 January 2021, 19:49

"I'm starting to think anyone who plays DOOM on Amiga is paying tribute to the very game that contributed to the death of one of the most friendly computers ever!"

I wrote this sentence, reflecting my feelings about DOOM, in a chat I had about the TF1260, talking about all this 1260 card noise, and no one really bringing a product we can buy to the market. That DOOM sentence is quite interesting actually.

Without doubt, DOOM on PC is credited as being one of those games that helped kill the Amiga scene. So...where is the loyalty? Are you not stomping on Amiga's grave by playing DOOM game on Amiga hardware? Buying crazy expensive cards just to get extra 5 or 10 FPS of DOOM on your Amiga?

#NODOOMONAMIGA! :-)

Commodore shot the torso bullets. DOOM appears to have been the headshot.

@YouKnowWho, can you prove that DOOM killed the Amiga? Everyone old enough know the history behind Commodore.

OCS will live forever and the charlatans in management that squandered the five year headstart the Amiga had over its rivals all for a quick buck will be forgotten.

Tell you what...Amiga computers were actually "nice".

Not like these creepy computers we have today. Spying on us. Watching us. Capturing our data to marketing to us.

Sometimes I feel the entire Tech industry has turned into CREEPY STALKERS!

Amiga had 2 viruses, right? TWO! As in...one virus, two virus - the end. How nice is that? Not even serious one like Covid-19 or whatever. Just 2 common colds...that's all that Amiga had. Beautiful.

What an utterly ridiculous thread

Amiga scene is not dead. Only Commodore is.

These threads, from time to time, makes forum less monotonic.
We can't talk all the time about serious hardware and software issues.

As for the OP question.
I couldn't care less about Doom back then.
Never been that impressive to me
