Saw it on here earlier, but when I saw it on Engadget I thought that was pretty big. We all knew the project was looking great, hopefully more people can enjoy it now.

definitely, unless Ndless comes out for the TI-Nspire CX. Even then, it still may get the POTY

Calm down... A lot of games/programs for the NSpire can still come, Doom can win, but we can't say for sure.
He's calm, but I think Doom could effectively win. Ndless already came out so it can't be featured twice for the Nspire. However, it could have chances for the CX. Maybe ticalc will merge both categories, though. Doom has huge chances because of the name and the fact it's the real game ported to calcs, but if a Zelda or Super Mario clone comes out it will most likely do like the 2007 68K POTY, where SM68K won by 70 ish % over Doom 68K.

From the comments section of Kotaku:

Somehow I would actually call bullshit on this one. I think it's more likely this is a video of Doom playing rather than the actual game.
Firstly - the executable file is only 400k - the size some kind of a video player could be. The actual game starts in mid-action, just as the Doom logo is in mid-fade, it plays too smoothly and perfectly without the device moving from the guy presumably actually playing the game, and then it just ends mid-action just as the presumed player is about to enter combat. It also ends by going to black screen, and staying there, just as you would expect a video to end.
Some people will never believe this.

Sorry for the double post, but it seems like we've made it to slashdot:

http://games.slashdot.org/story/11/02/22/0340258/Online-Multiplayer-Games-On-TI-Calculators

This one is actually about gCn, but nDoom was also mentioned.

O.O nice Mraklopaz! :O

Also congrats to Kerm! By reading this, that kinda also makes me wish even more we could play something like Doom via gCn ;D

gCn+nDoom is on hackaday, too:

http://hackaday.com/2011/02/22/global-calcnet-your-ti-83-just-acquired-internet/

I wonder if anyone thinks that nDoom supports gCn just because of these two articles... :P

Uhm wow 2x more congrats to both :D, I am surprised nDoom went there, though, because Hackaday is primarly oriented towards hacking, hardware mods and gadgets such as what they talk about in Cemetech's technology boards.

And yeah I'm wondering if people will ask Kerm how to run nDoom via gCn X.x. Thankfully gCn is for the 83+/84+ and nDoom is for the Nspire, so if they spotted that in the articles this should be fine.

Also if gCn made it there, I wouldn't be surprised if Engadget and a few other sites picked it up. Now imagine how popular this could become towards students under 18 if Kerm made an USB gCn O.O.

I wonder if other WAD files will work fine now. It would really rule if they did. The only way to find out is to try them, though. I think you just rename the WAD file to .wad.tns They need to fit on the calc, though.
