Versions

Engines

Since the release of the source code, several modified engines have emerged.

You can view a more exhaustive list on Wikipedia or a set of comparison tables on Doomwiki. The history of various source ports is examined on Doomworld.

Content

A freely redistributable replacement of DOOM-like assets is available at Freedoom, forming a completely free and open source game. Art assets from the original game such as the levels, sounds, textures, etc., remain under copyright. They can be purchased from Steam or copied from an original game disk.

View

Field of Vision Fix (FOV)

Depending on your choice of engine, you can usually change the field of view with a console command, or even in the options. Try fov <1-179> or gr_fov <1-179>.

Multimonitor Support

ZDoom seeks to support multiple monitors out of the box since version 2.5.0. Widescreen Gaming Forum discusses multimonitor set ups with GZDoom.

Save Game Data

Folder Location

Where saves are stored depends on the engine used and which version.

Steam Cloud

Steam versions use the Steam Cloud to back up data.

System requirements

The various engines have different requirements, but they are low enough that it shouldn't give you any problems.

Steam just lists "Minimum: A 100% Windows XP/Windows Vista compatible computer system" as the only requirement for their version.
