Doom (Game Boy Advance)

And you were just a scroll away from being fired too...

Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors.

Such as: Bloody, meaty bits.

This article is marked as NSFW! The classic PC game hits handhelds, with some annoying censorship. This version is based on the WAD data created for the Jaguar version, which had greatly reduced map detail among other changes.

Unused Graphics#

Projectiles#

These projectiles are also unused on PC IWADS before v1.666.

Gibbing Animations#

The IWAD inside the ROM contains multiple graphics for gibbing animations, despite this feature being entirely removed due to censorship. This article is marked as NSFW!

The "Imp" graphics are fully animated and mostly censored, however it is never actually used anywhere in the game.

The graphics for the Player are uncensored with the exception of the last few frames. All frames are duplicated 3 times for all different player colors, the green player color is not changed between.

The "Shotgun Guy" is completely uncensored, but is still leftover in the ROM.

A bit unusual, the zombieman gibbing animation is a badly mapped copy-paste of the player's regular death animation with little black grids.

Jaguar Leftovers#

There are a few graphics leftover from the Jaguar version.

Appears to be the "CREDITS" graphic from said port. While this port resized most title screen graphics to 240x160, this image is at its original 320x200 resolution.

This HUD graphic was used in the multiplayer mode.

The entire Jaguar mugshots are here! Uncensored and all!

The unused flaming barrel is carried over as well.

Unused Messages#

You pick up a medikit that you REALLY need!

Stored at 4FF164. This is a variant of an unused string in the PC version, which according to sources would have displayed if a medikit is picked up at less than 25% health.

Unused Episode?#

The string THY FLESH CONSUMED, which refers to the bonus fourth episode of Ultimate Doom, is stored with the other episode titles at address 6AA364. They had probably intended to include stages from this episode in the port, but couldn't due to either mere space limitations, a desire to accommodate the deathmatch stages, or because these levels were never toned down for the Jaguar WAD.

Unused Music#

The music track Hiding the Secrets is unused in this port. The track itself doesn't exist in the Atari Jaguar version (where this port is derived from), and its inclusion is presumably to be used in MAP24: Military Base where it is the sole secret map in this port.
