Whilst I work on #PortaDOOM, I feel the need to share this pitch-perfect trailer for "#doom 4 vanilla", a demake of DOOM 2016 for original, #MSDOS doom/doom2 -- possibly one of the most technically impressive pieces of doom-hacking ever

The compressing is taking days, but it is producing results. #portaDOOM

(WIP) Putting together a crap-tonne of #psx #doom & #doom64 content in one self-contained, pre-configured launcher #portaDOOM

Do you like #DOOM? (of course you do) #PortaDOOM is a self-contained, offline, package of the best DOOM maps ever made. Everything is included for you in a fun #MSDOS like interface for browsing the contents: https://github.com/Kroc/PortaDOOM/releases

It's been five years since the last release; this beta contains an all new launcher written from scratch.

You do not even need to own the original DOOM[2], but if you have it installed (GOG, Steam) it will be used, otherwise FreeDOOM is used as a substitute.
