Doom for Pocket PC

Doom for Pocket PC (later retitled Doom PDA) was initially released in by developer MachineWorks Northwest, LLC, and published by Simon & Schuster Interactive, Inc, for -based  devices.

All cheats from the DOS version work, but the level select cheat does not work for the fourth episode Thy Flesh Consumed. This port does not play any music, though the music volume setting is still shown in the options. There is no support for multiplayer games or for loading WAD files.
