## What it is
The complete source code archive for the infamous 1995 DOOM port to the 3DO console, released by its original developer. It serves as a historical record of a rushed ten-week console port, including custom ARM assembly code, Burgerlib 2 usage, and development anecdotes.

## Use cases
- study how DOOM was ported to the 3DO console
- learn about 1990s console game porting challenges
- explore historical C and ARM assembly game code
- research software rendering techniques for floors and ceilings
- understand memory management workarounds on 3DO
- preserve and archive retro game source code

## When to choose
- you want to study or preserve a piece of video game history
- you are researching 1990s console porting practices
- you are curious about the 3DO platform's quirks and SDK limitations

## When to avoid
- you want a playable, modern DOOM port or engine
- you need a maintained, buildable codebase for current hardware
- you want a well-structured example of game engine architecture
