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 or copied from an original game disk.

- Games with Steam Cloud support may also store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/2290/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (2290) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
- See the glossary page for details on Windows data paths.
