Next: analog implementation of Doom?

Not a finished one but this concept is cool. Doom on a Vectrex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuVnoqFF3II

The Vectrex had a 6809...

I like this guy. I thought this was going to be a more introductory video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtR63-ecUNo (holy c*, he published a lot of these since 2014, they're pretty good :) )

This has been done with quake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMli33ornEU

That is cool but I think what the OP meant by analog DOOM was actual analog circuits driving a TV PAL/NTSC signal or oscilloscope output.

I guess you could synthesize a HDL implementation into discrete logic?
