It was blogger BCC who ported DOOM to Fujitsu's FM TOWNS. You can see what the FM TOWNS version DOOM ported by Mr. BCC looks like in the following movie.

BCC uses the FM TOWNS emulator ' Tsugaru ' for DOOM play in the movie and a compatible BIOS for FM TOWNS. In addition, it seems that the emulator 'Unzu ' has also confirmed the startup.

What I'm actually playing is 'The Ultimate DOOM', which is an additional scenario 'Thy Flesh Consumed' recorded in the original DOOM. If you prepare a file, you can also play DOOM 2. The maximum frame rate is 30fps, which is lower than the original IBM PC version of 35fps.

The idea is that the end message is FM TOWNS specification.

In this article, not only the ROM of DOOM for FM TOWNS, but also various explanations such as the background of porting DOOM to FM TOWNS and the answer about 'Why programmers all over the world are porting DOOM if there is a chance' are explained. It is posted and must-see for DOOM fans and FM TOWNS fans. There are also technical explanations, so you can enjoy it just by reading it.
