If you're looking for an honest-to-goodness running on C64 hardware FPS experience that is as close to Wolfenstein 3D/Doom that we've seen so far, there is a really impressive demo from jimi9757 where he made a ray casting engine for c64. You can see that here.

Perhaps even more impressive is he made a version for the Commodore PET too.

Holy mackerel, this is cool! Thanks! I also played Total Eclipse, which was a bit closer to being 3D (and Stunt Car Racer!), but this jimo stuff seems to run much faster.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
