Essential improvements
Patches
All patches for the retail versions of Final Doom (as well as Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth) can be found here.
novert
When using the keyboard and mouse configuration in Doom or similar games on DOS or through DOSBox, vertical mouse movement causes the player to move forward and back, which can make mouse aiming difficult. novert is a DOS TSR that disables vertical mouse movement to prevent unnecessary player movement.
| Instructions |
|---|
Source ports
Since the release of the source code, several modified engines have emerged.
You can view a more exhaustive list on Wikipedia or a set of comparison tables on DoomWiki.org. The history of various source ports is examined on Doomworld.
Content
A freely redistributable replacement of DOOM-like assets is available at Freedoom, forming a completely free and open source game. Art assets from the original game such as the levels, sounds, textures, etc., remain under copyright. They can be purchased from Steam, GOG.com, or copied from an original game disc.
