10 Rare Versions Of Video Games You Didn't Know Exist

10. DOOM 64

It’s easy to see where Doom 64 got lumped in with the other, seemingly never-ending list of Doom ports, but simply calling it another version of Doom does a major disservice to this title.

Featuring new graphics and levels, Doom 64 instead continued the story from Doom II, focused on an evil entity known as the Mother Demon. Bringing back the countless hordes you once destroyed, it’s down to Doomguy to stop these demonic creatures once again.

It released to positive reception and reviewers praised the new features but some considered it too similar to the original Doom, though contemporary reviews have been much kinder.

With the incoming release of Doom Eternal however, Bethesda have confirmed a re-release for the Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One, also launching on 20 March, and coming as one of Eternal’s pre-order bonuses.

This follows on from Doom 1- 3’s re-releases last year and with the franchise firmly back on its feet, Doom 64 may finally get the recognition it deserves.
