Doom 64 is a first-person shooter developed by Midway and id Software for the Nintendo 64. Not a port but an all-new entry, it features original levels, redrawn sprites, new enemies, and a darker, atmospheric tone with moody lighting. The lone Marine fights demons across a Hell-corrupted facility using the series’ arsenal — including the new Unmaker weapon — in fast, single-player action.
