Wow, that's a really well done response. It fascinates me to think of games having a 'so-bad-it's-good' vibe to them. Thanks for replying.

The reason why so many ports of Doom use the Jaguar Doom assets was because they were the assets provided for the console ports (at least according to Rebecca "Burger" Heineman, who did the 3do port) and were already redesigned for the low memory (RAM, not storage space) environment that consoles of the time represented. Even though the 32X version of Doom released first, the Jaguar version started development first.

It should go in at the beginning, but I’m actually not sure how long it’ll actually be -gk

This is gonna sound corny but games are more than just the experience of playing them. No, I didn’t enjoy *playing* these ports, but playing them to better understand the larger story behind them was fun. It goes along with the idea that there’s no good or bad media, just interesting and uninteresting. 3DO Doom is maybe not fun to play but it’s still an interesting game, same for Saturn Doom.

Your words towards several of the ports were critical and scathing yet your mood in the video came off as jovial and elated. It made me wonder: did you enjoy playing these ports of a game you love, even though they were sub-par?

I was subtitling the video, got to around 2 minutes of subtiting. I could finish it, but I'd need to know if the bumper goes on at the end or the beginning, because if it goes at the beginning, I'll have to redo the timing completely..:Which is my fault, I didn't check the full message,!
