A blast from the past: id didn't plan on bringing the original Doom to the SNES and didn't think it was possible.

Another dev called Sculptured Software decided to reverse engineer a port on their own initiative and sent off the result to id, who were impressed and agreed to get it published.

If you like neat retro stories like this, Digital Foundry has a number with the DF Retro series.  For example, this one about Doom's ports:  https://youtu.be/784MUbDoLjQ

Oh I'm a DF addict haha, I love their Retro episodes especially! Thanks though. :)
