A friend challenged me to run Doom on my new 386SX laptop. Well, it "runs". The biggest problem is ghosting on the screen, so it's best to play in super tiny resolution to get comfortably 5-10 frames per second.
But if that's the case, I'd rather go play some comfy games by Cyningstan :)

@nina_kali_nina fastdoom could be a fun experiment on a 386SX if you're not running it already :) https://github.com/viti95/FastDoom

@millie thank you, I shall try. But I suspect it's the screen that is the biggest issue.

@nina_kali_nina I had a 386SX 40MHz when Doom came out. I played it, it wasn't fast, but playable (at least, that's how I remember it). I had to wait for a 486DX2 for Doom II though.
