Doom for Pocket PC was released in 2002 by Simon & Schuster Interactive, Inc. This port was developed by MachineWorks Northwest, LLC.
The base for this port was the WAD for The Ultimate Doom, even though only the original three episodes are playable. 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.
The game must be installed to the default path, even though the setup asks if the user wants to install it elsewhere. If it is not installed to the default path, a misleading error message pops up, stating "Serial Numbers Don't Match!"
Another issue with this version is that, after a device restore via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, the device need to be reset immediately; otherwise, the game does not start, and the misleading error message pops up instead.
