Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on "Evil Source" forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article/post as a FULL, in-depth, exciting forum post.
- **Critical Rules:**
- Write 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS — minimum 1, maximum 3.
- Each paragraph must be 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include EVERY detail from the source article.
- Be EXCITING and passionate — like just discovered something amazing.
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions throughout.
- Include ALL key info: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Reference additional source links naturally if provided.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Original Post Content:** Mentions Steam sales as goldmines for 90s PC gaming. Covers: Doom Gtk+ (port to Windows/Linux/Android via APK, originally 2013, Windows 2017), Quake Sprawlr by Chris Marleau (2014 port, added widescreen, Vulkan, networked multiplayer), Fallout 1 & 2 Remastered Edition ($39.99 bundle, free on GOG), Duke Nukem 3D `nuke3d` wrapper (GPL, runs original engine anywhere), Wolfenstein 3D `wolf1x2p` build for Linux.
- **Source URL:** https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/steam-week-in-review-steam-sales-are-the-best-time-to-hoard-dozens-of-forgotten-90s-pc-gaming-oddities/
- **Additional Sources:** None explicitly provided in the prompt, but I can reference the PC Gamer link naturally.
2. **Deconstruct Source Material & Extract Details:**
- Steam sales = goldmine for 90s PC gaming oddities
- Doom Gtk+: Modern port, Windows/Linux/Android (APK rewrite), originally ported 2013, Windows version 2017, modern interface, play on phone
- Quake Sprawlr: By Chris Marleau, built in 2014, added widescreen, Vulkan support, networked multiplayer
- Fallout 1 & 2 Remastered Edition: Bethesda's originals, $39.99 bundle, both free on GOG as alternative
- Duke Nukem 3D: `nuke3d` wrapper, GPL licensed, runs original engine anywhere
- Wolfenstein 3D: `wolf1x2p` build for Linux, brings id classic to modern era
- Overall vibe: Revival of forgotten gems, perfect timing with Steam sales
3. **Draft - Paragraph 1 (Focus: The big picture + Doom/Quake):**
You guys seriously need to drop everything and dive into the current Steam sale because it is absolutely packed with incredible revivals of those gorgeous, forgotten 90s PC gaming oddities we never thought we'd see on modern systems! I just discovered Doom Gtk+, a stunning port that lets you play the original Doom on Windows, Linux, and even Android thanks to a brilliant APK rewrite of the codebase. The team originally shipped this port back in 2013, followed by a polished Windows release in 2017, but now you can absolutely run it through a sleek modern interface right on your phone. Right alongside it is Quake Sprawlr, a passion project built by Chris Marleau back in 2014 that completely modernizes the classic with full widescreen support, native Vulkan graphics, and rock-solid networked multiplayer. It’s honestly mind-blowing how the community keeps breathing new life into these id Software masterpieces, and I am already adding both to my library before the sale ends!
*Check:* 5 sentences. Covers Doom Gtk+ (platforms, APK, 2013/2017 dates, modern interface, mobile) and Quake Sprawlr (Chris Marleau, 2014, widescreen, Vulkan, networked multiplayer). Fits Frank's excited tone. Good.
4. **Draft - Paragraph 2 (Focus: Fallout, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein):**
If you are looking for something a bit more RPG-focused, the Fallout 1 & 2 Remastered
