    I do not know what a DOOM reader is,
    but it reached me.

    Further to that.. *what* this is would be the intent of the moderator/creator of the echo:

    "Fidonet: If you like the game DOOM, or any similar games, this echo is for you. Topics include modem/network support (for multi-player games), playing techniques, technical information and reviews of new levels. Other 3D games are also on topic."

    Unless DOOM is playable on a smartphone/tablet, I guess this group via Telegram is not too useful.

    But the technology that is built to support the link-up between fido and telegram can serve to be a nice convenience to monitor activity at the very least.

    Keep it up and I'm going to add FTN via game systems to the project
    list.

    Unless DOOM is playable on a smartphone/tablet, I guess this group via Teleg is not too useful.

    I think there are source ports for the ID 1 engine (aka DOOM) that run on Android. I could be wrong, though. In any case, smartphones feel like the wrong place to play a FPS.

    On a different note, I just saw an article on Hacker News about a
    DOOM executable that'll run in DOS, Windows 7 and Windows 10. Kooky.
