What is GZDoom?
GZDoom is a source port for playing Doom-engine games and community mods on modern systems. It supports titles such as Doom, Doom II, Heretic and Hexen, with features including free look, high-resolution textures, colored lighting and advanced mod scripting. It is an engine rather than a complete copy of those games: you need a compatible IWAD containing the game data.
This entry links to the publisher's GZDoom 4.14.2 macOS ZIP, listed for Intel and M1 Macs. The ZDoom download page now places this release in its Historic section and names UZDoom as the primary port. The download here remains GZDoom; it is not a UZDoom package or a claim that GZDoom is the current primary project.
The screenshot is a publisher-hosted Doom gameplay illustration from the ZDoom-family site. It shows the rendered game scene, not macOS-specific interface controls or a verified capture of version 4.14.2.
