Has anyone tried to get DOOM to work with a VGA to TV converter, preferably
a cheap one like the $129 Game Blaster from ADC?  How well did it work?

DOOM on a 27" TV should give new meaning to "ULTRA VIOLENCE" 

See ya in Hell,

k

did it on a 31" TV> I also ran my gravis output into the surround-sound
processor for TRUE excitement.

	-	it was awesome
	-	on a tv that large, you really start seeing doom is very 
		low-res. Shame. how about a 640x480 version of the engine
		id? (vesa mode?) Say you SELL that one. could boost sales?
		BTW I used the S-VHS input to the TV. normal input would 
		probably be worse.
	-	Surround sound tends to mess you up, since the processor
		"plays" with the directions the sound comes from. it still
		rocks though.
	-	keyboard seems a bit out of place when you play in such an
		"arcade" setting.


my 2 cents,
