About:
GZDoom is an advanced source port of the original ZDoom, adding a high-performance OpenGL renderer to the classic Doom engine. It provides modern graphical features like dynamic lights, hardware-accelerated rendering, and extensive modding support while maintaining full compatibility with the original game and its mods. This makes it the definitive way to experience classic Doom with modern visuals and performance.
Key Features:
  • Hardware-accelerated OpenGL renderer
  • Advanced lighting and particle systems
  • Extensive modding support via ZScript
  • High-resolution texture and model support
  • Backward compatible with classic Doom mods
Use Cases:
  • Playing classic Doom games with modern graphics enhancements
  • Developing and testing total conversion mods
  • Experiencing community-created maps and gameplay mods
Alternatives:
  • Chocolate Doom – Strictly vanilla-accurate, lacks modern features
  • PrBoom+ – Focuses on demo compatibility and speedrunning
