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 …

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.
-
What bothers me is that they're impressive accomplishments in their own right, but they are using the name of another game with far more widespread recognition in order to garner more attention for something which is broadly unrelated. It cheapens it, in a way.

I concur that port in its modern sense is probably not the right word. I'm still living in the days when an Atari VCS version of an arcade game would be called an arcade port, yet be wildly different from its source (see as an example Double Dragon or Klax on the VCS)pic.twitter.com/7NiCHKM4SW
