    Ah wow, I knew Doom was possible on the Nintendo 64, as Hexen got a port to the system and that ran on the Doom engine, but this is still super impressive!

    From what I’ve read, it indeed was technical limitations that stopped Midway from simply porting Ultimate Doom. Doom 64 is a result of creating code that specifically worked with the N64’s tri-point texture filtering and specific RAM specifications. If Midway had more time, I’m sure it could have ported the original games. Remember, the expansion pak wasn’t out when Doom 64 released, so the console was limited.

      That sounds like complete bunk, Doom 64 had a specially made hardware renderer that could push Doom to its limits, along with basic scripting. It's a complete upgrade of the doom engine, they just wanted to do something different

      How could doom run on the ps1 and the atari jaguar yet not the n64? Either way, the n64 was three times more powerful than the ps1, so it being "impossible" to run it on the 64 makes no sense.

    One thing to keep in mind is that to port this to N64 it took 20 years of knowledge and a lot of time that devs would not have back then. It's how now we get impressive new Game Gear games like Aleste 3(in 2020), or Real Bout for Sega Genesis(in 2023), and people ask "Why didn't they make it like this back then?"... Tools evolved a lot from the hands of people that love these retro consoles.

      Doom on either Nintendo console SNES/N64 were actually pretty decent experiences for the time. I played the console versions first as a kid and really enjoyed them. Starting with the SNES obviously. It wasn't scary or anything, just a fun shooting game. Playing it on the N64 scared the crap out of me as a kid, still one of my all time favorite console games though. I can thank Doom on consoles for being the reason I got into Doom on PC and eventually got into building my one PC's.

    I tried this on my n64 and honestly it's almost perfect, were it not for the fact that you can't rebind your controls. Doom 64 let you rebind which was great because all default control schemes were really bad, but this you're stuck with the dpad because Z can't strafe left even though there is built in analog control. If there's a way to change controls it probably involves changing a config file and recompiling the wad, which is a bit beyond my capability. I don't know why the guy that made this didn't just either include the option to change or didn't give this Turok controls, which are ideal for fps games on N64.
    And I guess if you're gonna play it, make sure to back up your memory pak saves, because if you try saving it it'll just erase your saves.
