Once game consoles could pull off convincing 3D it was only a matter of time before Doom made an appearance. No matter if it was the Super NES, Sega 32X, or Jaguar, Doom found its way on just about every console that could handle it. Unfortunately, by the time it hit the Nintendo 64 Doom was a little long in the tooth. Doom 64 is probably the best looking game of the series, but critics complained that it was too old and too archaic for a 64-Bit powerhouse. And judging by how innovative GoldenEye 007 was they were probably right. But there's one thing that Doom 64 had that James Bond didn't, and that's a truly forgettable marketing campaign.

This Doom 64 Commercial probably doesn't look all that bad just at a glance, but as you study it you start to question some of what you see. For example, if you're this one-man-soldier going up against the powers of Hell (on Mars) then who is it that put you in the body bag? Was it the demons that ripped you to pieces? That would be a shocking amount of respect considering how disrespectful they were when they ended your life. And do they even have body bags in Hell? All of the creatures you go against are much larger than this body bag, so what would the purpose be? And who would be the person doing the autopsy? And if you look so good in black (as the commercial says) then why is it that everything has this blue tint? The game is decidedly "red" when you're playing, so what's with this crazy blue hue?

Of course, you forget all about those questions when you read the game's tagline: "This is why they made the N64." Nintendo created this 64-Bit system not to introduce the world to 3D platforming and amazing water effects, but rather to port a four-year old PC game! Yeah, that's exactly what they were thinking while putting the finishing touches on Pilotwings 64! They say this is the toughest Doom yet, but the only thing tough about it is trying to be stay interested after you've experienced GoldenEye 007!
