Can I politely ask that people start using words like "reimagined", "rewrote", "made a demake" for these things, and not "ported"? Words have definitions. We live in a society.https://twitter.com/RAMOKROMOK/status/1316067797198352386 …

Maybe my definition of port is wrong, I'm happy to be corrected. What makes this *not* a port? it is because it's unofficial?
It's a matter of opinion. These days, in game development at least, a "port" generally involves swapping out platform-specific code while compiling the core game code and assets with as few modifications, if any, as possible.

There's more nuance to it, though. The SNES port of Doom isn't a recompile, but it is as feature-identical as possible.

To that end, things like this VIC-20 "port" or the TI calculator "port" of Doom fall flat. They lack many of the engine features that ostensibly made Doom what it is. They're simple raycasting engines, functionally more akin to Wolfenstein 3D.
