Yep. I think we still have that here. It was definately the doom2 engine. I remember on one level, those flamming screaching skulls would come at you.... I used to have tools for making custom levels for doom2 and you could do texture/sound/sprite replacements. It used to be a lot of fun.. -- Tom Shelton

That could be fun! Ayup. Screen and misc stuff on the left hand monitor. Code window spanning the middle and right hand monitor. I should be able to see almost twice as much code vertically as I currently do. 1152 wide by 2048 tall vs the other way around is almost 2 to 1.

Full HD res. 1920x1080, UbiSync. Up to 6 displays connected to one USB port. Integrated 2-port USB hub. Priced 179.- Euro. I've problems to visualize a laptop with 6 additional displays all sitting on my writing-table. <vbg> Helmut.
