Doom 64, released on March 31, 1997 for the Nintendo 64, is a sequel to the Doom games, taking place after Doom II. The game has all new graphics and music and runs with a modified version of the Doom engine (first used in Doom PSX and Final Doom PSX). The music is shared with PSX Doom games.

"The PSX version was a two-for-one byproduct of the N64 deal," explained Aaron Seeler, "and served as a development base for all the research-and-development tech and tools we would need to bring up for the N64, which was not anywhere close to specs or silicon. All the N64's capabilities were wild guessing."
It was released by Midway (who made the PSX Doom games), in cooperation with id Software. The game has been re-released both digitally and, later, physically for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It was a pre-order bonus for Doom Eternal as a digital copy, and is also now available for PC on Steam.

The plot focuses on the events following the original Doom/Doom II storyline. An evil entity known as the Mother Demon has survived and brought back the decaying dead creatures you once killed. It is up to you, the Doom Marine, to stop the legions once again.

Welcome to DOOM 64! The cult classic returns, 22 years after its 64-bit debut. In this follow up to DOOM II, you'll fight through demonic hordes, hunt down the Mother of Demons, and stop Hell's Invasion as you battle through more than 30 action-packed levels!

----------- Story -----------

Quoted from the game's product page:

Dawn of the Undead

An unseen entity from beyond, cloaked by radiation, has rejuvenated the rotting carnage of Phobos. The demons are back. Your assignment is clear. Total annihilation

Quoted from the Doom 64 manual:

"Your fatigue was enormous, the price for encountering pure evil. Hell was a place no mortal was meant to experience. Stupid military doctors: their tests and treatments, were of little help. In the end, what did it matter - it was all classified and sealed. The nightmares continued. Demons, so many demons; relentless, pouring through.

Far Away...

The planetary policy was clear. An absolute quarantine was guaranteed by apocalyptic levels of radiation. The empty dark corridors stand motionless, abandoned. The installations sealed.

The Present...

A long forgotten relay satellite barely executing, decayed by years of bombarding neutrons, activates and sends its final message to Earth. The satellites message was horrific, from the planetary void there came energy signatures unlike anything sampled before.

The classified archives are opened. The military episodes codenamed "DOOM" were not actually completed. A single entity with vast rejuvenation powers, masked by the extreme radiation levels, escaped detection. In its crippled state, it systematically altered decaying dead carnage back into corrupted living tissue.

The mutations are devastating. The demons have returned even stronger and more vicious than before. As the only experienced survivor of the DOOM episode, your commission is re-activated. Your assignment is clear: MERCILESS EXTERMINATION."

The new release includes additional storyline linking Doom 64 to Doom (2016) in the form of the The Lost Levels.

Following defeating the Mother of All Demons, Our Hero spent time tearing up Hell. The Mother's sister Resurrector kicks the Marine out of Hell back into a base on Earth, and tries to kill him. He fought his way through the base to find a portal back to Hell. He fights his way through this new section of Hell, and kills the sister.
