10 Video Games That Have Been Ported To Everything
4. DOOM
"Can it run Doom" they used to ask. The answer is yes. It can indeed.
Still as fun today as it was back then, Doom saw a space marine travelling to Mars to battle hoards of demons after a portal to Hell is accidentally opened on the planet, and ultra-bloody violence ensues (by 1993 standards anyway).
The Doom Engine itself was a fairly light program, not taking a huge amount of disc space and therefore more often than not, ran as smooth as butter. So porting it to other consoles was a breeze, and as such, it was release on many, many different ones.
As well as several different PC operating systems, the first console to get Doom was Sega's 3DX add-on for the Genesis, followed shortly by the Atari Jaguar, the version often named as one of the best games on the system. It would keep being ported to systems through the years including PlayStation, SNES, Sega Saturn, Xbox 360, even the Game Boy Advance with official ports being released as late as 2019 for the Switch.
26 official ports of Doom exist on the market, but the number of unofficial releases is truly beyond counting. They include the Nintendo DS, the 5th generation iPod, Java phones and somehow, a Ti-83 pocket calculator!
