Atari Scene News<p>There are two projects to port Doom on <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/AtariST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtariST</span></a> computers. First one runs on standard Atari ST but at the moment it needs accelerated Hatari emulator. Second one needs AtariSTE with STE536 board (Motorola 68030 50MHz + TT RAM): <a href="https://youtu.be/RyNfRBr9SKI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/RyNfRBr9SKI</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atari</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/retrogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrogames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/doom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doom</span></a></p>

ResearchBuzz: Firehose<p>TechSpot: The Atari ST was eight years too early for Doom, but not anymore. “The list of improbable devices running the iconic first-person shooter Doom continues to grow. Although porting it to a PC released in 1985, eight years before Doom, might seem tame compared to running it on a Lego brick or inside a QR code, the in-development Atari ST conversion shows impressive dedication.”</p><p><a href="https://rbfirehose.com/2025/04/29/techspot-the-atari-st-was-eight-years-too-early-for-doom-but-not-anymore/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://rbfirehose.com/2025/04/29/techspot-the-atari-st-was-eight-years-too-early-for-doom-but-not-anymore/</a></p>
