4DOS (short for 4-Directional Operating System) is a computer operating system designed for playing video games. It was created by Id Software in the late 1990s and is based on the Doom engine. It features a user interface that allows for easy navigation of games and other applications. The system is designed for both console and PC gaming, and allows for a variety of different control setups, including keyboard and mouse, gamepads, and steering wheels. 4DOS also features a range of graphics and sound options, as well as a variety of game modes, such as single-player, split-screen multiplayer, and online competitive play. The system has a built-in library of games, but also supports the ability to download and install games from the Internet. 4DOS also includes a comprehensive set of game development tools, which makes it an ideal platform for creating custom games.
