Taylor ported the game Doom to Linux, as well as many other systems, during his spare time.

The beginning of Linux as a gaming platform for commercial video games is widely credited to have begun in 1994 when Dave D. 1994–1997 ĭoom was one of the first major commercial games to be released for Linux. As the operating system itself grew and expanded, the amount of free and open-source games also increased in scale and complexity, with both clones of historically popular releases beginning with BZFlag, LinCity, and FreeCiv, as well as original creations such as Rocks'n'Diamonds and Tux Racer. Popular early titles included Netrek and the various XAsteroids, XBattle, XBill, XBoing, X-Bomber, XConq, XDigger, XEmeraldia, XEvil, XGalaga, XGammon, XLander, XLife, XMahjong, XMine, XSoldier, XPilot, XRobots, XRubiks, XShogi, XScavenger, XTris, XTron, XTic and XTux games using the X Window System. The free software and open source methodologies which spawned the development of the operating system in general also spawned the creation of various early free games. A notable example of this are the ' BSD Games', a collection of interactive fiction and other text-mode amusements. These games were mostly either arcade and parlour type games or text adventures using libraries like curses. Linux gaming started largely as an extension of the already present Unix gaming scene, which dates back to that system's conception in 1969 with the game Space Travel and the first edition in 1971, with both systems sharing many similar titles.
