DOOM.
The old game got way better when they open sourced it and Quake 3d code was backported to make zDOOM. Its one of the largest modding communities that has ever existed. If you want to see what it can do, try Brutal Doom. That same engine is behind a new release called Selaco.

I got back into doom in the last few years and there’s a huge number of amazing maps people have made over the years you can play for free. I had no idea about the total conversion wads, where it doesn’t even feel like doom because everything has been changed.
If anyone’s looking for a good place to start you can check out the yearly cacoward winners

My_House.wad has been making the rounds on YouTube semi-recently as an example of the sort of fuckery that has been made possible by the progression of doom modding.
If you’re not familiar with it, do yourself and go in blind for an hour or so and then only look up a video when you’re stuck.

I’ve played a bit but haven’t had enough time to really get into it. Did you see Romero playing it when it first blew up?

I just checked for the vid I saw and looks like he’s got another one playing it from a couple months ago as well.
