Doom8088: Doom on a 286 / 8088

Texture mapped walls, the color of the floors and ceilings is based on the texture of the floors and the ceilings.
E1M1 is playable, sort of. E1M2 is a slideshow.

To celebrate Doom's 30th anniversary, here's a version of Doom8088 with PC speaker sound effects.

Did you have a 286 with a sound card 30 years ago?

I applaud the effort, but I do have one request: Since there is no way it will ever run acceptably on an 8088, is there any chance the name of the project could be changed to something much more representative of its tooling and plausible targets? Doom16 would be a much better name...

I chose "Doom8088" over "Doom286" because I like it's 8 characters.
But now for every version I want to make (Mode Y, MCGA, EGA, Tandy, CGA, monochrome), I'll have to compile an 8088 version and a 286 version.

All we need now is someone to supercool and massively overclock a genuine 8088.

Even more reason to rename it Doom16, as that applies to both 8088 and 286.
