Doom mods another source of Vita gaming

Now the physical releases has slowed to a rare drip, if you want something new to do with your Vita, other than collect older boxed games or fill out your digital collection, homebrew is the way to go. A quick mod, learn how to use VitaShell, and you can add all sorts of fun ports and original games. 

Not only Android ports like the amazing recent patch for the Android Crazy Taxi, but for all-new content like Doom 2 mod Thatcher's Techbase, out this week. Which does beg the question why Sony wasn't investigating these ideas for its own curated store years ago! 

It does for former and very-dead British Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher what Wolfenstein did for Hitler. Dragging her corpse out for one last battle, can't wait to see what the British right-wing tabloids think of this desecration. 

Note, since Thatcher's Techbase is free and cannot be paid for, the developers hope you can support these charities instead. Here's a shot from @NightmareModeGo of the mod (source .wad file here) in action... 

... and given there's a huge library of mods, wads and new adventures across the Doom, Doom 2 and Quake engines, which run glossily and smoothly on the Vita. Feel free to dive into those archives (and some great gaming history as covered by this RPS piece).

Another recent port to the Vita is ZGloom, a Doom-like game from the Amiga era available on the homebrew browser and other sources.
