Quake's first level running in the 1993 Doom engine
Claude helped build Relit, a Three.js renderer for the original Doom engine with modern lighting, and converted Quake's E1M1 into a playable Doom level that runs inside it.

The full story
Relit is a Three.js renderer for the original 1993 Doom engine: the engine still runs the game, and Relit draws it with modern lighting, with V flipping back to the original view. With it, Quake's first level, The Slipgate Complex, was converted from id's GPL map source into a playable Doom map using Freedoom's art. Claude did most of the coding and was made to read the actual engine code first, which showed early that Doom can't stack floors, so those parts are flattened. It's open source and runs in a browser.
