I-O Data Doom? [DOS/V PC98]

[Uroko Sakanabito]

Any Doom nerds in here?
Got these diskettes a long time ago from yahoo auctions.
Both contain the I-O Data Doom shareware episode one.
Many doors are labeled I-O Data, i think aside from that its normal.

I think someone told me that it came with some graphics card from I-O Data but no idea...
Is it dumped yet?
Thank you!

That's a weird promotional arrangement. Dump the disks just in case.

They probably came with a Window Accelerator card. These are video cards for the PC-98, they're based on standard PC chipsets (Cirrus, etc) and intended for use in Windows. They typically have passthrough connectors for PC-98 native video modes. Doom natively supports a number of these cards since it needs 256 colors and not all PC-9821 or fast 9801 systems have PEGC (the name of the native 256 color mode).

Hey, thx but the question still is what kind of card?
Doom on 9801? Was quite an adventure ^__^

I was that product manager at that time.I bandled them with the NIC card for NIC card promotion.
Sinply,bundling them wouldn't be very interesting, So I had some fun and secretly put our company name on the DOOM door.
You were the fist person to find out my pranks from 30 years ago .
Thank you so much. I was lonely becauae no one else found them.
I'm surprised that you, a foreiger, found them.
