I just watched this last week. (have no idea where I ran across the link; so serendipitous).
Read the story notes about it a while back and was quite fascinated. It's actually quite a remarkable port and actually does a couple things very right, namely innovative play control and that awesome band-recorded soundtrack.
I actually played through the game on my 3DO and it is definitely playable, if rough around the edges (anyone who can tolerate Zero Tolerance will be fine). Of course, I play through a lot of Doom ports (Saturn, PS1, Jaguar, 32X, SNES, GBA, etc, and even tried the get a Doom source port going on an N-gage, with interesting results).
It would tickle me purple if someone could improve the code and do a complete port of Doom and/or Doom 2 for the 3DO with all levels and monsters. But I won't hold my breath.
My favorite homebrew source port on a console is PS2doom, which lacks music ( I just play my own or keep it creepy quiet) , but plays quite well. So 3DO Doom is quite unnecessary, but I still like the it exists.
...just another lost soul...
