Proto:Doom 64 (Nintendo 64)

This page details one or more prototype versions of Doom 64 (Nintendo 64).

  This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

To do: A few things: A let's play of the prototype (on original hardware) is on Youtube, highlighting many differences present (Playlist here). Appears the rip.WAD file with dev assets is identical to the prototype, if anything from there isn't in the prototype (used or otherwise), move to a development page. Add more info about the debug features. A video showcasing them can be found in the playlist. The Mother Demon's sprites are different, rip them out and compare. She also doesn't appear to have attacks (but will still try to use them). Besides her, are there any other noteworthy enemy differences?

On December 26th, 2022, a prototype of Doom 64 was leaked onto 4chan alongside development assets. The prototype is dated December 10th, 1996, and appears to be for evaluation judging from the text at the title screen.

At this point the game is quite close to final but has a few differences.

Sub-Pages

Level Differences The Mother of All Demons seems not quite finished with the place.
