Doom8088: Sinclair QL Edition

Doom is really slow on a computer with a Motorola 68008 CPU @ 7.5 MHz.

Slow down the video for a more realistic speed.

Imagine the lag.

Thinking at 8 bit console was a good idea at that time.

I've dragged the VCR out for the first time in over a year and a half to get back to some teletext recovery.
The first recording of this evening's tape is easily the best results I've ever had 🤯 I've fed it straight into the test channel on my online viewer: zxnet.co.uk/teletext/vie...
