Looks legit. I also notice that they reduced the fidelity of the game
considerably in order to make it fit.
Compare the sound and graphics hardware present on the spectrum to
that present on a PDP-11, i.e. none.
The closest stock unit I can think of that has enough hardware to be
comparable to an 80s home/gaming microcomputer is the Terak. (It has
the ability to produce limited audio.)
However, I wouldn't want to be the guy that has to take the DOOM
source and recode everything in assembly language in order to make it
fit in the machine.
