Doom was indeed written on NeXTStep, and I and several others of the

but I'm not certain.) I've never met him in person, but we've had
several phone conversations. He gave one of those historic NeXT
machines to a friend of mine, after mentioning to me that he had a few
slabs gathering dust and that he'd be willing to give them away to a
good home.
Hmmm, OK. I am surprised at that :-)
I was under the impression it was written on a PC and Omni ported it
many moons ago. Then again, I (unfortunately) never owned a NeXT machine
and I'm only going by my memory of what I've read.
I stand corrected.
