This page details one or more prototype versions of Doom (PC, 1993).

The PC version of Doom has quite a few prototypes in circulation. Most of these were leaked in some manner during the game's development, but id Software were nice enough guys to allow their widespread release for the game's 5th Anniversary. As a result, they freely float around the internet.
