Why hasn`t anybody carbonized Wolfenstein 3D for OS X ?

Because the sourcecode is avaliable

Yes, well, the source code is available to lots of things that haven't been carbonized yet. And the source is PC-only I think, so you'd need to port it to the Mac all over again. Hmm.

I see
but
isn`t there a doom verison for OS X ?
and the doom source code is alos only PC

So? What's your point? Someone ported the PC release of DOOM to the Mac in their spare time, IIRC. Anyway, if you are offering to do it, feel free to.

Ports take time and skills.

Actually, looks like someone did release the Mac version source:
ftp://ftp.logicware.com/pub/burger/Wolf3DMacSource/

AFAICT, it would need some pretty major architecture changes to work on OS X, but it might be a fun little thing to do
