A port of ZGloom for the PlayStation Vita. ZGloom is a re-implementation of Amiga FPS Gloom, including support for Zombie Massacre.
Gloom was a 1995 Doom-clone from Black Magic Software for Commodore Amiga. It had very messy and meaty graphics and needed a very powerful Amiga computer back then. It had several official successors like Gloom Deluxe/Ultimate Gloom (a graphical enhanced Gloom), Gloom 3 and Zombie Massacre.
Installation
Gloom was made freely available by its developers here.
For the other official games using the Black Magic Gloom-engine like Gloom 3 or Zombie Massacre you can load them for free on Aminet. Otherwise you can take the original game files from your game installation.
To play on PS Vita install the VPK, download the .zip of the game(s) you want to play, extract them somewhere to your harddrive and copy only the folders (depending on the game) to the following locations on vita:
- ux0:/data/zgloom/gloom
- ux0:/data/zgloom/deluxe
- ux0:/data/zgloom/gloom3
- ux0:/data/zgloom/massacre
ZGloom supports in-game music using any module that XMP can play. Put the mods in the sfxs folder and add "song_blitz.mod" or whatever the module name is to the script. Multiple song_ commands are allowed, allowing per-level music.
