Comment on A look back at the Killer instinct arcade game and the confusion around the Ultra 64

IIRC the developer made the SNES version of Doom from the ground-up as well, no source code.
Surprisingly enough, I remember the best console port of Doom being the Atari Jaguar version for a long time before the PS1 version hit.

There was a podcast recently with the guy who built the SNES port, it was pretty interesting.
