In this video, I explore the history of Doom's source ports, beginning with the release of the source code in 1997. I also talk about some of the earliest source ports that came from this release, particularly the ones that still have active descendants to this very day! In addition, I catch up a bit with some multiplayer ports I talked about in one of my previous videos and clarify some things about them.

I was going to include a segment of Doom Legacy for this video, but this is one of the ports that I can't get running right on my system. Perhaps when I get it to work I will do a video specifically on it, since it has quite the well... legacy...

A lot of information from this video was heavily based upon 'A Slightly Condensed Genealogy of DOOM Source Ports' by James 'Quasar' Haley:

Everything else was taken from various other sources such as the Doomwiki and my research with a bit of subjectivity sprinkled in between.
