Trivia

 * In CDoom's startup sequence, the port gives credit to "Jesus Christ". Some in the community found this humorous, and lightly mocked this in idgames reviews. As a result, the author emailed the idgames maintainer demanding that the reviews be removed, to which the maintainer responded by deleting all instances of the author's work.
