CLUSTER DOOM-CLASSIC-PORT · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2021-02-17

Classic game source ports

The cluster comprises source ports that bring classic first-person shooters—Doom, Quake, and Build-engine titles—to modern systems, emphasizing compatibility, enhanced graphics, and online play. Dated entries are sporadic: a single 2016 addition, then two in early 2021, followed by three spread across 2024, and one in early 2026, suggesting irregular, low-frequency appearance. Traction leaders—Odamex, Freedoom, and UZDoom—each show 0 stars on the activity signal, indicating minimal external engagement.

ENTRY TIMELINE

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
