Fun tip for Geekfest Everett attendees: @limitedrungames.com's updated version of SNES Doom, which doesn't come out for almost a year, is sitting at the @castlemaniagames.bsky.social booth, set to free play. With the brand-new rumble gamepad! Cc its creator @randallinden.bsky.social

I just got a copy of @randallinden.bsky.social's new SNES-version of Doom and a controller with force feedback: There are more levels and difficulty-modes and, this is the big one: much, much better performance! Absolutely stunning work! You can still order this at @limitedrungames.com!
