Dreamcast Doom
Tom Kidd sent us this news about a port to the Dreamcast of Doom.There is a port of DOOM to the Sega Dreamcast. Since the Dreamcast has the ability to run CD's other than those made by Sega (Bleemcast being a perfect example) groups of hackers have ported development tools to the console, and since DOOM's source code was readily available it was ported to the Dreamcast. This port is 100% legal and requires an IWAD from the registered game or the shareware version. You can get it from Here.
