- Chocolate Doom, a port of Id Software’s “Doom” (1993)
- Chocolate Heretic, a port of Raven Software’s “Heretic” (1994)
- Chocolate Hexen, a port of Raven Software’s “Hexen” (1995)
- Chocolate Strife, a recreation of Rogue Entertainment’s “Strife” (1996)
These games are designed to behave as similar to the original DOS version as is possible.
Chocolate Doom supports all flavors of Doom, including The Ultimate Doom, Doom 2 and Final Doom as well as Chex(R) Quest, HacX, Freedoom: Phase 1 and Phase 2 and FreeDM.
