Who would have thought I would be back to playing Doom 64 on my N64! This is not Doom 64 but JNMartin's 64Doom, which is a port of the classic Dooms to the N64. I played this once before but since then it has been improved on basically all fronts including sound and graphics. It simply runs so much smoother!

I have learned a lot more about this port and the way it runs is very interesting! This is not built by the original Nintendo 64 development kit, rather it uses Libdragon which comes from the N64 modding community. 64Doom also runs with software rendering, so it is very authentic to the original Doom and its palette. Even the PS1 Dooms partially relied on hardware rendering which resulted in height limitations for its levels. 64Doom doesn't have any limitations except for what the original Doom had. Given how smoothly engine runs, without relying on the typical N64 hardware rendering pipeline, goes to show how powerful the N64 was during that console generation!
