  1. wadzilla

    "It Runs Doom." "Zork?" "Yes." Wadzilla converts Doom WAD files into ZIL text format suitable for compilation to an Infocom-style game, because Doom on Everything.

    I fixed my dunderheaded debug output commit that meant the "outputs ZIL" was a lie. This temporarily puts us back to a state where the Things have no locations in the ZIL, but I am working on that. I just wanted to show that it is back on track. Thanks Q+1!

    The Interactive Fiction web app (by curiousdannii)

    +1 to what vijayr02 said: you really need at least screenshots, and ideally just post the .z5 file with a link to iplayif so people can play it directly and see what you're talking about. Like this:

  4. freedoom

    Freedoom is an entirely free software game based on the Doom engine.

    I woudn't use that Doom WAD but the FreeDoom one as it aims for compatibility:
