Chilly Willy, the same bloke who brought us the fabulous port of Wolf3D on the 32X has started work on porting a new 3D engine to the 32X!

So far it looks pretty amazing. Keep in mind other "3D" games on the 32X like Wolf3D and Doom don't use true 3D engines, they use Ray Casting engines to fake the appearance of 3D rooms. Some of the true 3D games like Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter lack textures and while a few games like Star Wars Arcade may have some textured polygons they are few and far between. This is a true 3D engine with a good variety of full textures and the level design is quite large and complex.

Keep in mind this is a work in progress and nothing has been Assembly optimized for the 32X so the frame rate is very slow. But from what I've heard Chilly Willy should be able to speed it up with some optimization. From there we should see some new 32X homebrews or ports of other 3D games on the 32X. There's been a lot of talk about a Quake port on the 32X. Do you think it's possible?

You can download this version shown here with sound and 160 lines of resolution.

There is another version with no sound but it runs in a higher 288 lines of resolution and has a smoother look to the textures. I prefer the look of this one but it will probably run slower on real hardware. But it runs smooth in emulation.
