Doom on C64 - A playable tech demo for the RAD Expansion Unit for Commodore 64/128
This is a RAD-Doom gameplay capture recorded from a real Commodore 64 (PAL model). RAD-Doom is a new tech demo that enables Commodore 64 enthusiasts to play Doom on their “breadbin“ via the RAD Expansion Unit by Frenetic. The RAD Expansion Unit contains a Raspberry Pi that may take over the role as an external CPU for the Commodore 64. The graphics are still being rendered by the original VIC-II chip. Sound can still be generated via the famous SID chip (but other options are also available).

The gameplay starts off with pure keyboard controls and later, 1351 mouse control is enabled.
