Floppy disk source code backups made by SNES Doom creator Randy Linden were recently found and uploaded to Archive.org. While portions of this code were actually released a few years ago, this is everything including modem code and assets, confirmed by Randy himself. The disks were originally created using Amiga’s HDBackup (BRU); Disk 3 of the main set was corrupt, but the person who obtained them was able to repair it. Here’s the link, with more info (including the MVG video covering it) below:

This is a really cool piece of history and an interesting find for any SNES programmers. While SNES Doom is already very well coded, I’m curious if dev’s can use some of Randy’s tricks and knowledge to create some interesting homebrew! Either way, this is a win for video game history preservation!
A long-lost archive of the DOOM/SNES source code, levels and artwork has been found and preserved here:https://t.co/CIeVtFOokW
Kudos to JJ Dasher for tracking this down and archiving it, and to Jeff Hughes for saving the backup all these years!
