I’ve got it running and it’s slightly faster than I expected. Only around 2 FPS on a 5150 granted. Still kind of neat to see it using composite though.

On a Tandy 1000TX, it’s just about playable I’d say. That’s running a 286 at 8Mhz. Catacomb 3D still looks better without the downscaled graphics but it’s fun to see Wolfenstein on a Tandy.

One real problem is the controls. The keyboard layout in that era doesn’t have control and alt keys in the usual places and I’d need to come up with an alternative.
