Doom 64 was largely forgotten, because it arrived when games like Quake, Goldeneye and Turok were eating up all of the attention. Doom 64, simply put, is the true Doom 3. Everything you loved about Doom 1 and 2 are ratcheted up an extra notch here. The monsters are meaner, the atmosphere is scarier, the weapons feel punchier, and the level design is more devious than ever. Not simple key hunts, some levels require you to radically alter their geometry to compete. Secret levels are actually important as they contain powerups to a weapon that makes beating the final boss, a less painful endeavor. Doom 64 looks fantastic on modern systems, and you can even turn of that ugly melted texture blur found in the original version of the game! There are quality of life improvements like modern controls, and a set of "lost" levels that continue the story. All this for five bucks.
