#Doom on #Sega32X is a weird experience, especially when played with a standard 3 button Sega Controller. I mean, there is a start button as well, so I guess it is 4 buttons.

Despite being only episodes 1 and 2, it is a pretty solid way to play classic Doom, there is good enough visual clarity that you don't feel your retinas burning as a glob of pixels approaches you, like on the SNES.

A few levels are tweaked and simplified, but the core experience up until E2M8 is mostly there.

The gameplay feels right. The weapons work mostly as expected, the auto-aiming when things are at a different height level to you can feel a little off. Though I only really noticed that in E1M9.

Honestly, the only way that this version could be better, in my opinion, is with dedicated strafe buttons. But I don't think that would be possible, even with the 6 button Sega Controller. Of this console generation, it's definitely my preferred way to experience a Doom port so far!
