Poom

Poom is a Doom clone on the virtual console, by freds72 (@fsouchu, engine) and Paranoid Cactus (@gamecactus, levels, SFX, and graphics). The engine supports several of Doom's features, including variable per-sector light levels, variable floor and ceiling heights, doors and lifts, texture-mapping on all surfaces including masked midtextures, damaging floors, secret areas, etc. It renders a 128x128 image in 16 colors.

The content is heavily inspired by Doom, with sprites, music, and sound effects derived from the original but adapted to the limitations of the platform. The textures deviate more from their inspiration, and the levels are fully original.

Technical details
The engine, although greatly simplified compared to Doom, is surprisingly flexible and allows to use a subset of ZDoom features (DECORATE, TEXTURES, and ZMAPINFO, with some adaptations) to develop game content, which is then compiled into a virtual cartridge using the game's SDK. Maps are created with any Doom map editor though they have to be compatible with the TEXTURES lump. The SDK contains a full set of sprites for the basic zombieman, the demon and the baron of Hell, which are unused in the released game due to memory constraints.
