Editor note

This is the Windows 95 version of DOOM. It comes as shareware mainly. Although it was sold in some retail packages. If you own any full version of DOOM, you can run it with the Doom95 executable. It also works with all doom wad files.

Gabe Newell was shocked that Doom was the number one software in use and Windows was the second most used. He was frustrated by the "common wisdom" that good games could not be made for Windows. Wanting to show that Windows games could be better than NES, he contacted John Carmack about porting Doom to Windows and said "Hey, we'll do this for free". In 2013 Newell adopted a similar attitude toward Windows 8 vs Linux.
