GZDoom is the open source game engine for ID Software's older games like DOOM, DOOM2, HEXEN and HERETIC or it's own unique games.

### Freedoom
|
|
|
|
The Freedoom project aims to provide all the content needed to form a complete, entirely free/libre game for the Doom engine.
|
|
|
|
It is designed to be compatible with most custom levels, music, graphics and other modifications (“mods”) made for the original Doom games by Doom fans and artists over the decades.

### Where to buy official DOOM?
|
|
|
|
You will need `DOOM + DOOM II`.
|
|
|
|
The games `DOOM 3` and `DOOM 64` are not needed but we list them here because it is sometimes cheaper to buy the whole bundle.
