Doom 64: Retribution TC w/ 3D spatial sound 🎧 (OpenAL Soft HRTF audio)
10Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off. Best HRTF effect at 2:31. Sorry about the filtering; it was for video playback, I swear.

This is the Doom 64: Retribution TC by Nevander with OpenAL Soft's HRTF in GZDoom. While Doom 64 EX will always be the definitive way to play this underrated FPS, Retribution is a decent compromise considering that the Kex Engine did not have OpenAL Soft support at that point. With GZDoom's "Truecolor SW Renderer", it's also possible to play Doom 64 the way it might've looked as an actual PC game in 1997. Retribution does have some unfaithful elements like redone shotgun animations, an intro storyline, and optional EFX reverb and ambient sounds, but thankfully 20 seconds in the options menu will earn you a more vanilla experience. My only gripe is the sped-up weapon switching that makes Doom 64 even easier and can't be toggled off.
While Doom 64 is undeniably a high-quality WAD, I can't help but feel like its maps are forgettable. The fact that I can't even remember maps by number is a telling sign. The few maps that stick with me tend to be either the gimmicky levels like "Cat and Mouse" or ones with distinct landmarks like "The Terraformer" and "In the Void". I feel like it's wrong to say this when Doom 64's worst maps are better than 90% of Petersen's Doom II output, but I just have a hard time remembering any particular rooms or battles from Doom 64 compared to Ultimate Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom.
