Is there any way to make him turn around faster?
And is there any way to make him strafe?
And is it all keyboard controlled? It's been a long long long time since I played stuff like this. 😉
Alternate link, without that annoying chat window next to the game window.
Nuts, looks like it's just the shareware version.
Maybe it'd be a better idea to just get DOSBox and run an old copy of it that way.

More years then I want to admit ago, I paid close to $1000 dollars to upgrade/rebuild my computer to a 486 just so I can play that game fluidly and without issues... depressing and scary that it now runs in my browser window will I have all this other stuff including VMs running...
Maybe once we get computers like $1000 times faster.
That, or the flash is just used to display the video of a code base not programmed in flash.
BTW, I didn't realize flash was this flexible to allow Doom 1 to work. I imagine it was a fair bit of effort involved in porting it, certainly not a simple recompile.
What would be the point? If you wanted to run games that were decades old, sure. But graphics, physics, and all of that other stuff will advance with hardware, with the end result being that the newest, hottest games WILL require some sort of loading.
That is, assuming that all games don't move to consoles...which would be very sad indeed.🙁

Until we finally figure out how to make solid state hard drives with the speed of today's RAM chips. No more of this "megabytes per second" transfer rates or "millisecond" response times. Time to measure throughput in gigabytes, and seek times in nanoseconds.
Want to install a new game? Pop out the memory card, plug it in, and you're ready in less than 10 seconds.
Damn, seems this version hasn't exported the ability to save games.

I doubt it. It's a never ending cycle. If they have a powerful enough machine to run games without loading, they'll rather make a much more prettier and graphic intensive game WITH loading times. This has already happened and happening now.
Heh, I'm writing some computational code at the moment, and as long as it stays within memory everything is done within 10 seconds. Once it starts hitting the harddrive, it takes close to a minute or two to get everything done.
Likewise, once I went from 4GB of ram to 8GB, a lot of my games started loading instantly instead of having load times. Reading in and operating on data can have memory requirements way in excess of what it takes up on the hard drive, for some reason.
