List of Doom ports
open-in-new
<p><i><a href="/facts/Doom_(1993_video_game)/KA6n0GoY">Doom</a></i> is one of the most widely <a href="/facts/Porting/7s6tFs8B">ported</a> video games. Since the original <a href="/facts/MS-DOS/fVrrz1uN">MS-DOS</a> version, it has been released officially for a number of <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating systems</a>, <a href="/facts/Video_game_console/K72D1NSS">video game consoles</a>, <a href="/facts/Handheld_game_console/l1hmKVPx">handheld game consoles</a>, and other devices. Some of the ports are replications of the DOS version, while others differ considerably, including modifications to the level designs, monsters and game engine, with some ports offering content not included in the original DOS version. Since the <a href="/facts/Doom_engine/DUIUWqbn"><i>Doom</i> engine</a>'s <a href="/facts/Source_code/o9J6Jv23">source code</a> was released to the public in 1997, hundreds of fan-made ports to various hardware have been developed. </p>
