Doom for Acorn RiscOS is an officially licensed port of Doom by R-Comp International based on the Linux Doom source code release, first released in 1998 for the Acorn Computers RiscPC platform. It is accompanied by ARM3 Doom, a port supporting ARM3 PCs, and is succeeded by the company's Doom+, a more advanced source port. As of 2018, the company offers a custom version of the Depths of Doom Trilogy for sale with the port.[1] The R-Comp Interactive ports were programmed by Eddie Edwards, with the later Doom+ created by Justin Fletcher.[2]
