Doom for Mac was released on November 4, 1994. The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom were ported by Lion Entertainment and released by GT Interactive using a Mac OS launcher application to run original PC WADs. The Mac version runs on System 7 through Mac OS 9 and requires a 68040 or PowerPC processor. So Ultimate Doom will be a neat purchase for them. It is, without doubt, a classic game, every bit as scary and playable as it was a year ago. But for existing Doom owners, who registered shareware Doom when it first came out, and have bought Doom II and dreamt the endless strafing dreams of a Doom.
From DoomWiki.org
The Apple Macintosh line of computers received ports of The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom between 1994 and 1996, each of which were sold as separate products. The porting work was performed by Lion Entertainment, Inc., under license from id Software and with GT Interactive as distributor.

The versions of Doom for Apple Macintosh are informally often referred to as MacDoom.
How To Buy Doom For Pc
Features[edit]
The Macintosh port of Doom, unlike the equivalent Doom95 for PCs, is integrated tightly with the classic Mac OS operating system, with ability to be launched from the Finder, a menu bar, and custom command key shortcuts for various in-game menu options. Messages given by the game, such as the question asked when the player requests to quit, are actual Mac OS dialogs with the Doomguy's face for an icon.
In addition to the PC's low/high detail toggle, the Macintosh adds support for 640x400 resolution as a 'large graphics' mode. There is no support for aspect ratio correction, however, so the game will appear slightly flattened on the Macintosh's square-pixel display relative to its appearance on the PC.
Rather than supporting MUS, music is played from a set of external MID! files (a QuickTime-specific form of MIDI) stored in a Music folder alongside the game's WAD file and executable. Some of the MIDIs contain discrepancies between repeats of the same song.
During the special start-up credits sequence, a built-in frontend can be launched by pressing the S key, for configuring multiplayer games, adding WAD files, warping to various levels, and controlling other options.
Network multiplayer is supported over AppleTalk and IPX protocols.
System Requirements[edit]
The Macintosh port had the following minimum system requirements:
- Motorola 68040 or PowerPC processor
- Mac OS 7.1 or up (not compatible with Mac OS X, requires emulation or use of Classic Environment).
- 8 MB RAM
- 18 MB hard drive space for optimal performance; the games could run off the CD-ROM, but without music and with framerate issues.
- 8-bit graphics mode
- 2x CD-ROM drive for installation

The Ultimate Doom CD-ROM
Final Doom CD-ROM
ZDoom is a family of enhanced ports of the Doom engine for running on modern operating systems. It runs on Windows, Linux, and OS X, and adds new features not found in the games as originally published by id Software.
Older ZDoom ports may be used and distributed free of charge. No profit may be made from the sale of it. GZDoom and its descendants from version 3.0.0 on are licensed GPL and are subject to the terms and restrictions of the new license.
ZDoom was originally created by Randi Heit using id Software’s and various others’ sources. Its successor ports GZDoom and QZDoom are now maintained by Christoph Oelckers, Alexey Lysiuk, Magnus Norddahl, Rachael Alexanderson, and Braden Obrzut.
Why would I want to use ZDoom instead of regular Doom?
Consider all these features that ZDoom has that are not found in the standard Doom originally released by id:
- It runs well under all modern versions of Windows, from Windows Vista to Windows 10. If you have Mac or Linux, it works with that too.
- Can play all Doom engine games, including Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Heretic, Hexen, Strife, and more.
- Supports all the editing features of Hexen. (ACS, hubs, new map format, etc.)
- Supports most of the Boom editing features.
- Features complete translations of Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Strife and other games into over ten different languages with Unicode support for Latin, Cyrillic, and Hangul so far.
- Many more all-new editing features such as:
- Colored lighting.
- 3D floors.
- Portals.
- Advanced polyobjects free from the restrictions of their original implementation in Hexen.
- Custom monsters, weapons, items, player classes, and other entities.
- High resolution textures and sprites.
- Translucency (regular and additive).
- Many, many extensions to ACS that were not present in Hexen.
- More music formats: Ogg Vorbis, MOD, XM, IT, S3M, MIDI, and MP3 as well as old-fashioned MUS all work.
- More sound formats: FLAC and WAVE can both be used for sound effects.
- More texture formats: PNG and JPEG are both useable for artwork.
- All Doom limits are gone.
- Several softsynths for MUS and MIDI playback, including an OPL softsynth for an authentic “oldschool” flavor.
- High resolutions.
- Quake-style console and key bindings.
- Crosshairs.
- Free look (look up/down).
- Jumping, crouching, swimming, and flying.
- Full-featured joystick/gamepad support under Windows.
- Up to 8 player network games using UDP/IP, including team-based gameplay.
- Support for the Bloodbath announcer from the classic Monolith game Blood.
- Walk over/under monsters and other things.
With thanks to...
- id Software / John Carmack
- These are the people who developed Doom and later released the source code for the Linux port. Without them, there would be no ZDoom. Some of the functions from their Quake2 game DLL source were also used.
- Raven Software
- Portions of Heretic and Hexen were used in ZDoom.
- Team TNT / Chi Hoang
- Responsible in one way or another for Boom, which provided a significant codebase for ZDoom. Information about Boom can be found on the Doom Wiki at DoomWiki.org.
