Mod Turns Classic Doom Games Into Doom 64
When it comes to first-person shooters, Doom is practically synonymous with the genre and continues to inspire to this day. While Wolfenstein 3D helped birth the FPS, it was the 1993 follow-up that popularized it, taking it to new heights and making its developer, id Software, a household name in PC gaming.

Given this console version's darker atmosphere and graphics more befitting the Nintendo system, Cryonaut's project gives the classic id titles a more distinctive aesthetic while still maintaining the gameplay.
