Featured article - November 2025

PrBoom

PrBoom, originally short for "Proff Boom", is a source port for Windows, Linux/POSIX, OpenVMS and Mac OS X based initially on Boom, but later merged with LxDoom and LsdlDoom. As a result of this merger, PrBoom is compatible with both Boom and MBF. It includes OpenGL features for the renderer (as GLBoom) as well as some enhancements over the engines it is based on. Its initial release occurred on November 15, 1998.

PrBoom was maintained by Rob Young (RjY), with occasional contributions from Andrey Budko (entryway). Florian Schulze (Proff), and Colin Phipps (cph) who accompanied Proff for the first few years after the merge with LxDoom, have retired from the PrBoom development team. Development moved to PrBoom+ instead; until that fork was also retired with DSDA-Doom as its de-facto successor.
