The newer games are so good eg. New Colossus

Two observations:
> Being able to view a map, like this one pulled from the game’s files, would be really helpful while playing the game
The Mac version definitely had a map
And it looked a lot better.

Interestingly enough, the Mac version (done by Burger Bill/Becky) was a port of the Super NES version (which was done by iD)

Funny enough, my favorite version has been the SNES version. Despite all the limitations, it's got built-in controller support and also has a map! Maybe I'll try to gran the mac-for-pc version.

That caused me to go down a rabbit hole. The //GS version was released 3 years after the computer was discontinued and you basically had to have a sound card.
I remember it running OK on my LCII with a 68030/40Mhz accelerator and later on a PowerMac 6100/60.

Creating a Wolfenstein-style engine is a great programming project if you're learning a new language or graphics library.
You can smash out a flat shaded version in an afternoon, or go crazy adding all kinds of features and take it as far as you want to go.

Ceiling and floor casting is tricky, and pretty expensive at times. Getting vertical panning to work too is tricky but well worth it.

Here's an awesome free wolfenstein game series based on DOOM source port
.....
This is also fun, more arcadey, like an updated version of the original, also using DOOM source port.
