'''Doom for the 3DO''' is an official port of Doom to the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer game console, published by Logicware and Art Data Interactive, and released in the US on April 26, 1996. The level set was derived from the Atari Jaguar version. This version is single player only.
===[[Wall wiggle bug]]===
 
The '''wall wiggle bug''', also known as the floor wiggle or wobbly line bug, is a graphical glitch most often apparent when a player is positioned in such a way that a two-sided linedef passes almost directly through the center of the player. Due to the nature of the glitch, it is generally observed when the player is standing at the boundary between two sectors with different heights, such that there is a ledge visible above or beneath the player. The glitch results in the line demarcating the ledge appearing to "wiggle" back and forth in a distracting and unrealistic manner as the player moves.

Many fans consider this one of the worst, if not the worst, of the Doom console ports. It runs in a small screen at a low frame rate. The game offers six screen sizes, the largest two only being available via a cheat. The largest screen sizes suffer from a frame rate so poor as to render the player sometimes uncontrollable.
