Who made the first Doom Source Port?

Recommended Posts

I wonder...

DOSDoom is apparently the first sourceport post-release of the source code, dating back to December 23rd, 1997 (the same day the source code released). ggiDoom is the second oldest (that I know of), being released December 24th, 1997. The BadMood sourceport seems to be the only one on the DoomWiki page dating further back than the source code release, but it was for the Atari Falcon 030.

Its DOSDoom. Something which you would know if you bothered to not make this thread (and/or used the search).

 

The weather must have been bad there.

This is almost the correct answer, because the MS-DOS version of Doom appeared later than the true original release, called NextDoom.

Would Bernd Kreimeier kinda count? He ported the source code to the version that was actually open-sourced...

Not really a sourceport, but I need to break out the Pentium and play around with Gabe Newell's WinDOOM at some point. See how it compares to vanilla under DOS on my 486-50.
