From Tolstoy to Tolkien, sometimes it's good to go back and sample the classics. You know, for educational purposes. And when it comes to gaming, it doesn't get much more classic then Doom. Though it spawned in the early days of home console history, the series has proved enduring, with the most recent instalment coming out just this year.
When Doom was originally released, it was a benchmark for first-person shooters; a lot has changed since then, as fans now attempt to play the game on every machine impossible. The latest system. Well, a Doom title for the Nintendo 64, and it fulfilled that role quite well. The gameplay is almost a mirror of the original titles, albeit with improved visuals, and it was altogether successful in delivering a Doom experience to the Nintendo family of consoles that was both new and authentic. If you want to play Doom on a TV screen, you'd be better off playing on any Xbox or PlayStation console. Graphics will be much better and frame rates will be much higher in comparison to either.
Right now, Steam and Microsoft are both offering the original 1993 title for just £1.19. The port comes with the spooky Thy Flesh Consumed expansion pack, plus 4-player deathmatch and co-op. The multiplayer options are all local, which is a shame in these locked down times, but you can at least rope your flatmate / spouse / offspring in for some demon killing fun.
The port is available for PlayStation and Switch, though it's still full price on those storefronts. Cross platform text messaging. You can also get the crazily huge DOOM Franchise bundle for £35 on Steam, which includes all the classic games as well as the current bloodsoaked reboots. If you fancy a proper trip down memory lane, Doom Classic Complete (including Doom II and the severely misnamed Final Doom) is down from a tenner to £2.99.
