👹🔫 Doom for Super Nintendo is a significant technical achievement due to the console's limitations regarding 3D capabilities. It wouldn't have been possible without the use of the additional Super FX 2 chip. Nonetheless, rewriting the game engine was necessary. Recently, the author released the source code, and you can check its analysis on this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqP3ZzWiul0

✏️📺 In our museum collection, we have a unique gaming console called the Vectrex, which comes with its own built-in TV screen. Its distinctive feature, as evident from its name, is vector graphics (made up of lines) instead of raster graphics (like pixels on the screen) - giving its games a unique look and very smooth animations.
