Prototypes

Something isn't quite adding up with the prototypes listed in the dump table - Hidden Palace has not listed any of the alleged prototypes from 1994-12-01 on their site as "Doom" prototypes, however all three 1995 prototypes are listed as "Doom RR" prototypes, and the 1994-12-01 prototype is a redirect to the 1994-10-01 prototype.

The "RR" ones are mysterious post-release builds ("re-release?"), the theory being that maybe there were plans for a second revision of the game at some point. It's not known how they differ from the retail version though (the Doom community is huge so I figured someone would have worked it out by now). -Black Squirrel (talk) 16:51, 16 July 2024 (EDT)
