I misspoke. I mean doom 64 for ps4/xbox 360, it's not a source port from DOOM 64 for the N64, apparently. <cite>Coastal_elite posted [p:938316944] in How do sou...

treewojima 04/29/20 4:13:48 PM #6:	S'alright, I misspoke too. "Written from scratch" implies that it was rebuilt from the ground up, but really what they did was use a modified Doom engine (which was based on a modified Doom engine for the Playstation, which itself was a modified Doom engine from the Atari Jaguar, etc) <cite>treewojima posted [p:938318610] in How do sou...
