→Release: Here is MidDoom. A very short lived port, it was part of that port craze after the source code was released. MidDoom's stats enhancements might be interesting, else this port is mostly historical value.

'''MidDoom''' was an early [[source port]] by Ryan Nunn, alias ''Triforce'', based off [[DOSDoom]]. A shortlived port, it most notably brought networking and HUD improvements, including advanced player and level stats and a menu system to choose [[IWAD]]s.
==History==
MidDoom's exact first release date is unknown. The port based itself around DOSDoom 0.301, which was released on January 4, 1998. It is unknown if later DOSDoom additions were added to MidDoom as none were exactly mentioned. The last version of MidDoom was released on February 1, 1998, as version 0.3. It fixed a lot of bugs, enabled a HUD with player and level stats and player names in networking, and a menu system.
==Features==
* All features from DOSDoom 0.301
** High resolution (640x480 and beyond)
** Hi-color mode (16 bit)
* Player stats [[HUD]]
* Player names in networking
* Menu system for choosing multiple IWADS
* Two toggleable statistics HUD's
* Sound support: MIDI, Wavetable synth, and CD Audio. It utilizes a special program for this, called {{c|ASETUP.EXE}}
