The game has been ported to more or less every platform you can imagine however it's not just a meme. Thanks to the widely-available source code of the classic game, community mods like Brutal Doom have managed to keep the original relevant long after it's been overtaken by new generation games. The latest twist on the popular shooter adds the latest ray tracing lighting techniques.
