He must have mixed it up with one of the later Doom releases or ports, as there are some that do have a split screen mode. Also, I want a copy of Windows 92 for my 486 PC!
@Javascript required to display profile name It was a joke. But if someone revamped Windows 3.11 to look more like Windows 95 and called it Windows 92 I'd be all for it :)
I remember my dad getting mad at me because every time I played Doom 64 I had to turn up the brightness setting on the tv and I always forgot to put it back.
Out of topic, but when i was little i had the Famiclone (NES knockoffs) with these yellow cartridge games. And my dad always thought that ANY game system that uses the tv, will damage and break the tv somehow... l0l
I hear alot of people now saying that but I never had this problem. Maybe we always had TV set very bright or european version was diffirent or something.
I liked this version. The ambiance, the freshness. Sure the brightness was kind of an issue, but I think it added to the game. It was a precursor to Doom 3 in a lot of ways by being "scary" more than just evil.
I liked this version. But it does carry gripes. I hated the sounds, lack of weapon animation, missed the music, and it was ungodly dark. To me I compare it to Quake. It's still Doom II, but Quake very Quake like.
Emtu He was working with Bill Gates, he had W'92 for testing purposes, it didn't pass Mike's tests for online gaming, just told Bill "Man this sucks" and was never released to the world.
There's nothing wrong with the darkness of this Doom as they were definitely going for the horror setting of Doom. It was a game that needed to be played in the dark. Think of the new Doom 3. People didn't like Doom 3 because it was a horror game rather than Classic shoot em up. They are just two different styles of the same game. The soundtrack is haunting and minimal unlike Classic Doom. You can hear the screams of the demons echo through the halls in Doom 64. I was deathly afraid of this game as a kid but Classic Doom was more of a shoot em up game.
+Diego Espitia I prefer Doom 3s Horror setting. Constant mind fucks and being afraid of whats around the corner. Makes it feel a lot more like Im fighting the forces of hell.
Doom 64 is so great. Especially love the more ambient soundtrack. Same with Quake II on the N64-- brilliant alternate version of the original, with an amazing soundtrack (both done by Aubrey Hodges).
There's actually spaces in between those crushing spots. You guys just didn't take the time to understand whats going on instead you just said it's flawed.
they didn't say it's flawed they just said it sucked having to go through that area again. Though I agree it seems they pretty much killed themselves on purpose just to end the video.
This is WAY better than on PC, IMO. Doom 64 is one of my all time favorite games, ever. You can easily turn up the brightness in the options, and the game has several difficulty settings, to ease the challenge. It's a great game.
A lot of my fond memories of Doom 64 have to do with my brother and I playing it all night, with the lights off when we were kids. It was some of the most fun I've ever had playing video games. But yeah, the complaints James and Mike have about the game are very easily fixed, in the game options, if they had just given it a chance.
***** Was pretty impressive for it's time the fog helped with the graphical limitations at the time. Turok 2 and perfect dark were my 2 fav shooters on the n64 especially with the expansion pack.
+Echolyktuz there was another prety decent fps on n64. it also had ok-ish multyplayer and the music wasnt that bad either. but i cant think of a name right now.
+Eric Cherry I'm probably like 3-5 years younger than them and clearly remember Windows 3.1... it was a big difference from our Packard Bell navigator GUI thing when we got a newer hand-me-down PC from my grandfather. Windows 92 is pretty hilarious though, haha.
+Eric Cherry Actually I'm a few years younger than both of them, 29 to be exact, and I remember using 3.1 at my dad's office. He was a Professor of Osteopathic Medicine at the time (early 90's) and my brother and I would use whatever the equivalent of Windows Paint was on there to draw things digitally and print it off on the dot-matrix printer he had in there at the time. So I think it's more-so what you're exposed to, than necessarily how old you are/were.
+FireMrshlBill I remember Packard Bell navigator. It was a crime against humanity. Luckily, it was possible to exit to Windows. Anyone remember "Journeyman Project Turbo"?
Actually the best part of Doom on PC was and still is (the modern windows versions gzdoom and jdoom kick ass) the wad files you could download. There was all kinds of user created shit for doom. No other game before it had that kind of expandable content. My friend and I made our own Star Trek version. We made maps and replaced all the sprites. It kicked ass! His bridge was top notch for doom. I even had a walk around the enterprise.
+Ashley Williams My favourite was the one that replaced all the enemies with Barney and he'd come at you singing that song of his about loving everyone and you'd blow his purple head off.
+Ashley Williams yup, what is awesome is that people still make this. I just downloaded a new wad called Ancient Aliens with 32 fucking maps ! (it looks really really good and it is challenging, I recommend it)
I was also puzzled by the lack of strafing, but I wonder if it has to do with the N64 controller. I never played Doom on this system, so it might not be as simple as when using a mouse and keyboard.
If you play in normal difficulty...maybe?. But if you play original doom in nightmare (with enemies constantly randomly spawning everywhere, the way doom is meant to be played!)...Doom 64 is WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAY easier than classic doom
When I was in the Army all my buddies who had PC's would lug out machines down to the day room and set up a lan and play DOOM with 6 or 8 players. That was so much fun.
Midway has done a lot for Nintendo for the N64 actually, Doom 64, Mace, Cruis N, War Gods, MK4 & MK Trilogy, Gex 64, San Francisco Rush 1 & 2, Hydro Thunder, and even my personal favorite Body Harvest.
Mike played 'so much Doom,' yet he calls the armor pickups 'ammo'?? Also, that was a berserk powerup, not just health. You guys really know your stuff on this one..!
For a guy who claims to have played it so much, it should be implied. If you have played it in split screen on Windows 92, you should know the difference. ;)
This game was meant to be dark and atmospheric to make it scary as opposed to the PC version were it was balls to the wall run and gunning. I've played both for countless hours and I'd say I prefer this one.
Once you learn to use the controls more effectively (sprinting, sidestepping), the game plays extremely smoothly. The maps are fun and challenging, there's a couple good spooks here and there, and the graphics and soundtrack are very atmospheric. Doom 64 is easily one of my favorite console FPS games ever made. Very under appreciated gem.
This IS awesome; not almost. The music was entirely ambient, and the puzzles and darkness are a constant. 10/10. No flaws. You havent played it enough.
Mike: "I had whatever came before Windows 95, what was it, like Windows 92? I had that." Mike, I am disappoint. Windows 92?? The most common version of Windows prior to 95 was Windows 3.1.
great video!! You can feel the chills and the tension on the screen, and I'm impressed the great controls it has for being an n64 FPS. I loved this James and Mike monday!
very flawed, James? Daikatana was very flawed. kinda focusing too much on the negative aspects i guess. Doom 64 is way more Doom 3 then the actual Doom 3. back then D64 wasn't a big deal because gamers played goldeneye and turok. but nowadays, D64 became a classic in it's own way.
Also...too dark? Yeah the game is dark but never too dark. Maybe turn on the brightness on your tv? You did that with Shadows of the Empire as well and that wasn't a flawed game either.
Doom 64 Absolution is old as fuck, and not a 1:1 port. Doom 64 EX is the newest release, and is literally a reverse-engineered original game with a windows GUI front.
We have an embarrassing milestone here folks, James Rolfe, the Angry VIDEO GAME nerd, who has talked about Doom in so many episodes, LITERALLY ASKED WHERE THE "JUMP" BUTTON WAS IN A DOOM GAME! I feel so sorry for him
+Ellery Ballou He was obviously asking where the button was *if* you could jump. I'm a big Doom fan but still tried to see if you could jump when I popped this new cartridge in.
When this game came out, I lost my mind. There was DOOM, DOOM2, some kinda extra levels for DOOM2, FINAL DOOM, and the. DOOM64. I made my cousins rent it at Hollywood Video, when they got their N64. DOOM, built on the Quake engine?! Brilliant. I still haven't beaten the game, but I still play it. I'm stoked for the Switch port, this November.
Well for one it's something different for once, instead of all the same shitty military shooter like COD or Battlefield, or team based shit like Team Fortress or hundreds of other Steam games I've never heard of
I recently bought this game when it came to Steam and just completed it with all achievements. I have to say, I cannot imagine trying to play this one on a Nintendo 64 controller on the harder difficulty settings.
As well as Doom and Doom II there was also Ultimate Doom and Final Doom. Ultimate Doom, which came out after Doom II, was the original Doom game with an additional fourth chapter (iD released a patch to convert retail copies of Doom into Ultimate Doom). Final Doom, which came out after Hexen (the sequel to Heretic) and a week before Quake was Doom II using the Ultimate Doom engine, and with two expansions (TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment).
Screw that.. I had a 14.4 baud .. in your face! Actually I racked up a huge phone bill by doing death match with a woman in Canada .. my dad was pissed to say the least, lol
+Jeff Bond Yeah, I totally agree. It's not a bad game. But it does have some flaws. The biggest flaw being it's way too dark. I had to amp up the brightness on this entire video to even see the footage. The gameplay is okay. Overall, I'd just rather play the original. - Mike
Cinemassacre Oh, I didn't seem to realize Jeff Bond was speaking of Doom 64. I thought he was talking about the Doom franchise in general. In that case, I agree, Doom 64 was an average game.
+Cinemassacre It seems like they were going for that kind of aesthetic and probably meant to make it dark, but at the time a lot of games on the N64 tried that and ended up looking muddy and washed out, especially compared to DOOM 1&2 which used more brightly lit color palettes.
I still remember connecting with my friends over a 14,400bps dial up modem and having a ball. If you had 2 PC's side by side you could use a null modem cable to connect via the PC serial ports. Good times!
Mike: It was Windows 3.11 in 1992. The web-browser of choice then: Netscape Navigator, I believe - but that might have only run standard on Packard Bell PCs. I don't recall for certain, I was oblivious to the O/S on PCs as they were just an up-and-coming thing then before the big boom of upgrades to follow after the 25mHZ computers, and DOS 1.0. Didn't scroll through the comments to see if anyone else answered that one.
I always thought that it was a nice touch that the game visually looked like it sat somewhere between Quake and Doom. Made it feel like Doom64 was a kind of intermission episode between the two games.
@@PixelSlayers That's awesome! I'm real bad at puzzle games or roller coaster simulators. But I love doom 64. I ♥ to play Resident Evil or Silent Hill games whenever I feel down. I'm weird. Lol.
4:29 to 4:30 "I didn't know what else to do there." (Boots up N64 and plays that part. Turns character around and activates elevator so I can stay out of harms way. Blows up barrel and continues on unscathed) That wasn't hard to figure out, James. Fun video, though.
When it comes to console Doom I really enjoy the PS1 version . pretty much the same as the PC version but with ambient sounds like the N64 plus some added levels & lighting fx. great video as always. Thanks for sharing
Altar Of Pain always had my favourite creepy music with distant wailing zombie baby sounds in it. My mate worked at a video store once. When the customer walked in he turned off the lights and played that song. The guy freaked out apparently. DOOM FOR LIFE!!!! Great port and upgrade to the PC.
I'm 35. DOS was the main operating system for games until windows 95. And even that was still built on DOS and most games still used DOS. You had to understand DOS (and change memory settings) to run games until 1996. Windows 3 and 3.1 could barely run any games beyond Solitaire.
I hate how they say it's flawed when they obviously know absolutely nothing about the game and they don't give any reason as to why is flawed, but since it's not the original and it's not on PC it must be worse, so it must be flawed, right? Sometimes I think they make these videos just to aggravate people.
Pro tip, if you're playing on the N64, turn the brightness up on your TV, not just in the settings within the game. This makes this game hugely more playable.
I've been missin out on this doom business Im starting to realize this is a classic, now I know I think I remember seeing my brothers playing this not knowing what it was back in the late 90s
Mike remembers playing split screen Doom with his friend on Windows 92 back in the day, he's got a great imagination i'll give him that.
I thought the same thing...
He must have mixed it up with one of the later Doom releases or ports, as there are some that do have a split screen mode. Also, I want a copy of Windows 92 for my 486 PC!
It's not his imagination, the timelines have split.
@Javascript required to display profile name It was a joke. But if someone revamped Windows 3.11 to look more like Windows 95 and called it Windows 92 I'd be all for it :)
It may have been DOS. Windows 3.1 was for wealthier people at that time. Then again so was dial up internet.
"I haven't found the jump button yet".
You've never played Doom before, have you?
+David McManus haha yeah xd
i wonder if Mike was thinking of Quake?
Weird thing is they had jumping with revenant attacks.
@Shallex I think he means the archvile, not revenant. His flame attack would propel you upwards.
bakkes dicht, kuifje
I remember my dad getting mad at me because every time I played Doom 64 I had to turn up the brightness setting on the tv and I always forgot to put it back.

Why didn't you turn up the brightness in the game and not the TV?

they should play doom 3 too
Was never a Problem for me, Doom 3 was cool and fun :)
Played it at Nights back than.
I was a PC Doom snob and even I was pretty impressed with the effort they put into N64 Doom.
yea me 2 and when i had my n64 backinthe day itsone of the gaes i played
I liked this version. But it does carry gripes. I hated the sounds, lack of weapon animation, missed the music, and it was ungodly dark. To me I compare it to Quake. It's still Doom II, but Quake very Quake like.
Split-screen Doom, Windows 92 and looking for a "jump button". We got some retro gamers right here!

They are console gamers.
Don't make fun of them; they are console plebs.
@@RN-ez1ii Long live the king I mean the master race. hhaha just kidding. I like both.
The Doom 64 soundtrack by Aubrey Hodges is simply amazing. Dark ambient like this creates the perfect atmosphere for a game like Doom.
neuzd damn right! i also prefered aubreys playstation doom soundtrack to the original shitty midi metal on pc to be perfectly honest.
@@CAPSLOCKON How dare you. E1M1 is like a national anthem
@@eins2001 ps1 doom theme is like a national anthem
You can get the best of those worlds by playing PSX Doom. Music by Aubrey Hodges, improved sound effects, original doom ports.
He had a great point too that it was Danny Elfman-esque, like the Batman intro. I would have never made that connection, but it works quite well.
Yes Mike it was totally Windows 92.
+m2pt5 It amazes me how little they seem to know about anything that isn't Nintendo.
+Zachary Erickson (twilightwindwaker) It would be Windows 3.0 or 3.1 probably

The story took place after Doom 2 and was linked to the original main character of Doom.
Doom 64 is actually my favorite of all the older Doom games.
+foufoufun0 HOW!!!!!!
Lil P5ych0
Felt like it has the most content (type of enemies/guns) and I like the level designs and darkish atmosphere.
+Lil P5ych0 It had scary demonic music, better sound effect, weapons, etc. why the fuck wouldn't it be?

It's my second. Ultimate Doom & Final Doom for PS1 are the best :3

Got really exited when I found out
Look my guy you better be serious cuz I nearly shit myself

shit, my run button was bound to MOUSE2 but I don't use mouse to play classic doom.
For some reason, Doom 64 reminds me more of Quake rather than Doom.
Pow3rh0use It's the soundtrack probably. And the higher quality sprites made from 3D models.

+john bryant yeah, look up Doom 64 EX, i just tried it. plays great, both with Keyboard and mouse or with a 360 controller.
+BossZnakemaster Doom 64 EX is awesome, played through it a while back and had a blast.
Doom 64 Absolution is old as fuck, and not a 1:1 port.
Doom 64 EX is the newest release, and is literally a reverse-engineered original game with a windows GUI front.
Brutal Doom 64 is in development right now.
do you get a cross-hair?

Mike kills the editing, well done bro, keep it up.
Thanks for the annotations Mike, I never would have understood what you meant without them.
Really love this doom game, nice to see it get more recognition!
You. Are. Everywhere! Lol. Love your reviews. Helped me a lot in deciding what N64 games I should buy.
+Christian Sells thanks - glad I could help!
We have an embarrassing milestone here folks, James Rolfe, the Angry VIDEO GAME nerd, who has talked about Doom in so many episodes, LITERALLY ASKED WHERE THE "JUMP" BUTTON WAS IN A DOOM GAME! I feel so sorry for him
+Ellery Ballou Unless he was referencing Doom 64. It came out in 1997 and runs on it's own engine, I'm surprised you can't jump.
+Ellery Ballou
He was obviously asking where the button was *if* you could jump.
I'm a big Doom fan but still tried to see if you could jump when I popped this new cartridge in.
I played this when I was 5 years old.
It's funny how i remember almost every room in this game.
When this game came out, I lost my mind. There was DOOM, DOOM2, some kinda extra levels for DOOM2, FINAL DOOM, and the. DOOM64. I made my cousins rent it at Hollywood Video, when they got their N64. DOOM, built on the Quake engine?! Brilliant. I still haven't beaten the game, but I still play it. I'm stoked for the Switch port, this November.
This is leading to them playing the new DOOM right? Because it's FUCKING AWESOME
+Aaron Carnes so what's exactly awesome in new doom?
+jeff peake but to be honest doom really wasn't to be multiplayer I think
+jeff peake I thought its one of the best AAA shooter I played in awhile (except the shity casual mp) but it is by far not as good as the original.
Well for one it's something different for once, instead of all the same shitty military shooter like COD or Battlefield, or team based shit like Team Fortress or hundreds of other Steam games I've never heard of
this doom had the best character models imo
You guys make my life livable. Thank you. James, and Mike.

I recently bought this game when it came to Steam and just completed it with all achievements. I have to say, I cannot imagine trying to play this one on a Nintendo 64 controller on the harder difficulty settings.
I recently got Doom 64 for my Nintendo switch. I know this might anger some people, but I actually like the gameplay better than Doom 1993.
I like it more than Doom 2016... I know that's definitely not a popular opinion.
DUKE NUKE 'EM 3D. You know you want to.
Damn that's one doomed space marine
If they both wanted to play that, Duke Nukem 64 has co-op.
+Dragoon-BB Ready for action!
Doom 64 is an under rated gem. It has a horrifyingly haunting soundtrack. One of the best the 64 ever created.
After playing Doom 64 on Switch, I can say that it's the best classic Doom.
Best and most modest & original youtuber, that is why he has continued success. No bullshit just keepin it real. Love the channel man.
What happened to all the left-handed FPS protagonists?
They died. Maybe literally
This is my favorite doom game and the true doom 3.
You guys should play Sniper Elite. The reactions you guys would give for the x-ray kill cams would be seriously hilarious.
Yes, please!!!
It’s rare to look forwards to a Monday lol love James & Mike Mondays
As well as Doom and Doom II there was also Ultimate Doom and Final Doom. Ultimate Doom, which came out after Doom II, was the original Doom game with an additional fourth chapter (iD released a patch to convert retail copies of Doom into Ultimate Doom). Final Doom, which came out after Hexen (the sequel to Heretic) and a week before Quake was Doom II using the Ultimate Doom engine, and with two expansions (TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment).
Now connecting my 9600 baud modem to the game for 1v1 ultimate death match :D
LOL Michael Lefebvre
Screw that.. I had a 14.4 baud .. in your face!
Actually I racked up a huge phone bill by doing death match with a woman in Canada .. my dad was pissed to say the least, lol
I think Mike might be suffering some false memories.
IKR, Doom never had "split screen". It was always a setup similar to LAN or "system link" with the PlayStation 1 version
+DukeNukem2020 He corrects himself in the video.
Doom 64 was about as mediocre as games get. It wasn't bad, it wasn't great, it wasn't memorable, but it wasn't forgetable. It was Doom 64.
what? Doom 64 is great
Yeah, doom was revolutionary and hella fun.
+Jeff Bond Yeah, I totally agree. It's not a bad game. But it does have some flaws. The biggest flaw being it's way too dark. I had to amp up the brightness on this entire video to even see the footage. The gameplay is okay. Overall, I'd just rather play the original. - Mike
Cinemassacre Oh, I didn't seem to realize Jeff Bond was speaking of Doom 64. I thought he was talking about the Doom franchise in general. In that case, I agree, Doom 64 was an average game.
+Cinemassacre It seems like they were going for that kind of aesthetic and probably meant to make it dark, but at the time a lot of games on the N64 tried that and ended up looking muddy and washed out, especially compared to DOOM 1&2 which used more brightly lit color palettes.
I still remember connecting with my friends over a 14,400bps dial up modem and having a ball. If you had 2 PC's side by side you could use a null modem cable to connect via the PC serial ports. Good times!
Mike: It was Windows 3.11 in 1992. The web-browser of choice then: Netscape Navigator, I believe - but that might have only run standard on Packard Bell PCs. I don't recall for certain, I was oblivious to the O/S on PCs as they were just an up-and-coming thing then before the big boom of upgrades to follow after the 25mHZ computers, and DOS 1.0.
Didn't scroll through the comments to see if anyone else answered that one.
I love that this DOOM has a unique flavor compared to DOOM 1 & 2. Good video guys keep up the good work!
I always thought that it was a nice touch that the game visually looked like it sat somewhere between Quake and Doom. Made it feel like Doom64 was a kind of intermission episode between the two games.
I played the hell out of this game when I was pregnant to distract me from my nausea... good times.
If that's true. You're a cool mother to play this classic while pregnant.
@@RosyTheRascal15 Haha, it is! Also played a lot of Dr Mario and Rollercoaster Tycoon when I had bad pregnancy insomnia.
@@PixelSlayers That's awesome! I'm real bad at puzzle games or roller coaster simulators. But I love doom 64. I ♥ to play Resident Evil or Silent Hill games whenever I feel down. I'm weird. Lol.
windows 92 made me lol
4:29 to 4:30 "I didn't know what else to do there."
(Boots up N64 and plays that part. Turns character around and activates elevator so I can stay out of harms way. Blows up barrel and continues on unscathed)
That wasn't hard to figure out, James. Fun video, though.
When it comes to console Doom I really enjoy the PS1 version . pretty much the same as the PC version but with ambient sounds like the N64 plus some added levels & lighting fx. great video as always. Thanks for sharing
Doom 64 is awesome. That soundtrack is great too.
Strafe for fuck's sake!
No, no, guys! You found berserk! Punch those pigs!
We used to play doom on our work LAN over lunch at the company I worked at right out of college (circa 1997). That was the best.
You guys are and will always be my favorite people on youtube
"Windows 92"
-The AVGN
I had Doom for the Jaguar. I enjoyed it. Never played this one but it looks pretty good.
It's been awhile, so I could be wrong, but I don't think that Doom PC had split screen.
+Rabbit Plays Games PC versions didn't have split screen until much later via modifications, the Xbox 360 port had up to 4 player split screen.
Adrian Fahrenheit
I didn't think so, but I wasn't 100% sure!
73mathesar
That sounds about right. Thanks! ^^
Yeah that confused me too, he must be remembering things wrong; you could only LAN back in the day
Headywon
Right! That was my recollection as well. ^^
Altar Of Pain always had my favourite creepy music with distant wailing zombie baby sounds in it. My mate worked at a video store once. When the customer walked in he turned off the lights and played that song. The guy freaked out apparently. DOOM FOR LIFE!!!! Great port and upgrade to the PC.
I'm 35. DOS was the main operating system for games until windows 95. And even that was still built on DOS and most games still used DOS. You had to understand DOS (and change memory settings) to run games until 1996. Windows 3 and 3.1 could barely run any games beyond Solitaire.
What's amazing is that Nintendo kept the gore.
By this point they stopped censoring games on their consoles.
+robokill387 Turok 2 is the game most proving that.
they gave it more gore for some reason
No surprise. They stopped censoring gore by the late SNES era.
nexus1g
Resident Evil 2 allowed an option to have even more gore on the N64 version.
It's a good game, mainly focused on puzzles though, which isn't necessarily a bad thing
I hate how they say it's flawed when they obviously know absolutely nothing about the game and they don't give any reason as to why is flawed, but since it's not the original and it's not on PC it must be worse, so it must be flawed, right?
Sometimes I think they make these videos just to aggravate people.
Took some opinions too hard, didn't you?
Jeez
Hulli e it’s still an FPS you have to play with an n64 controller
@@creamcannon825 Thanos is coming!!
Boyfan
I like how they kept the old sound effects for this game.
Sooo much memories, it was one of my N64 favorite games on my library
Mike dressing up like he's going to the club.
long dick style
+Tyson Graham I'm sure he just got home from work soon before they filmed.
Hopefully they fix the darkness on Doom 64 now that it's being ported to Switch
Pro tip, if you're playing on the N64, turn the brightness up on your TV, not just in the settings within the game. This makes this game hugely more playable.
You should check out Quake 2 on the N64 as well. Aubrey Hodges (the guy who did Doom 64's soundtrack) also did the creepy soundscapes for Q2 64.
His music scores really set you down the right direction and got you mentally in the right position in those levels. It's quite awesome, isn't it?
I love doom 3 and this one. Survival genre is also fitting for doom . Wanna see more of that kind
I've been missin out on this doom business Im starting to realize this is a classic, now I know I think I remember seeing my brothers playing this not knowing what it was back in the late 90s
