DOOMed Switch Bonus: Retro Doom Speedruns

In my prior post about the Switch port of Doom 2016, I had put one of my videos where I ran through the first level of Doom 1993. It was one of thirteen secret classic levels you could find and unlock by playing through the campaign and finding out of the way hidden switches which would open up a secret room made to look like a section from those old levels.

I had made the video as a joke poking fun at the Switch's graphics- putting modern day demons back into recreated levels all the way back from 1993.

A day after I posted the video however, it had garnered a hundred views. I thought that was pretty cool. But I also wondered if any of those viewers took it seriously too. Why the hell would anybody watch some random guy casually speedrun through a remake of E1M1 through a new Doom game?

Then the other day, I thought I'd take a crack at running through a couple more classic Doom levels through 2016 just for the fun of it. I'd already played these levels through numerous times regularly, so breezing through them here would be a cake walk.

Keep in mind, these runs are being done on my Switch. I do not have any other way to capture footage other than what's being offered through my Switch, which can only record up to thirty seconds of gameplay. E1M2 and E1M3 have obvious cuts as it transitions to the next portion of footage. These should not be taken as legit runs. Much like the first video, these were made for shits and giggles.

And with that in mind, enjoy the videos!!!

This one was interesting to play. Usually I would play up to the point of getting to the secret level in the regular game. When setting up the run for this one, I initially planned to run it to the secret level exit but it doesn't seem to exist in 2016's version. So I went the route up the steps to the regular exit.

I did this one because it was quick as hell. No other reason.
