INTRODUCTION =============== o This document provides information on various Doom and Doom II games, and compares the game-console and handheld versions to the original PC editions, and to each other. o Apple Macintosh ("Mac") and other computer-based editions of the PC Doom games exist, however they are identical in most aspects to the PC games, and so are generally not addressed in this document. Other editions of Doom or Doom II not addressed here may be included in future updates. o This document does not address the "Final Doom" games for the PC and the Sony PlayStation. A similar document comparing these games can be accessed at: http://ClassicDOOM.com/fdoomcmp.htm o In the game descriptions included in this document, "Pros" are notable features of the indicated game version, some of which may set it above other versions covered here; "Cons" are generally features that existed in the original PC game(s) but are missing from the indicated version, or may otherwise cause a version to be rated below other versions covered here; "Miscellaneous" notes cover those features which do not necessarily fall under the other categories. o This document is 79 characters wide, and is best viewed in a monospaced font. The master HTML version is located here: http://ClassicDOOM.com/doomcomp.htm 1. DOOM/DOOM II GAMES: GENERAL ============================== o All Doom/Doom II games in this document feature these basic game elements: Monsters |Weapons |Ammo |Items and Artifacts -------------|---------------|------------------------|---------------------- Baron Of Hell|BFG 9000 |Box of bullets |Backpack Cacodemon |Chaingun |Box of rockets |Berserk Pack Demon |Chain saw |Box of shotgun shells |Combat/Mega Armor Imp |Fist |Clip (of bullets) |Computer Area Map Lost Soul |Pistol |Energy Cell |Health Potion bonus Shotgun Guy |Plasma rifle |Energy Cell Pack |Invulnerability Sphere Zombieman |Rocket launcher|Rocket |Keycard |Shotgun |Shotgun shells (cluster)|Medikit | | |Radiation suit/shield | | |Security Armor | | |Skull Key | | |Soul Sphere | | |Spiritual Armor bonus | | |Stimpack ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: Not all monsters, items, etc., appear in all games at all difficulty levels. Also, some items found on a given map during a single-player game may be absent from the same map during a multiplayer game, and vice versa. In Nintendo 64 Doom 64, the "Demon" monster is referred to as a "Bull Demon". In Sega 32X Doom, a BFG 9000 weapon is only available when using cheat codes. For more information, access: http://ClassicDOOM.com/doomcode.htm o All games referred to in this document also include (in alphabetical order): An Automap (which may be scrolled and/or zoomed in/out), barrels (explosive), corrosive floor areas (slime, lava, etc.), elevators/lifts, music between map levels, secret map levels, secret rooms, "tally screens" between map levels, teleporter pads, and variable lighting. o In all Doom/Doom II games, a player character may walk, turn, run, "jump" (run across small gaps), and side-step/strafe, both in first-person mode and while the Automap is displayed. o The following are limitations in all console and handheld Doom/Doom II games: Some maps copied from the original PC game(s) are simplified, significantly altered, or omitted; A game can only be saved after successful completion of an Area (a player cannot save a game in the middle of playing a map level, and then have it restored later to the same position); When a "saved" game is restored, a player always restarts the mission from the map's entry point; Deathmatch games cannot include monsters; Some original PC objects and/or surface textures are missing; Some missing or mismatched PC-game sounds; In games played on "Nightmare" skill level, killed monsters do not re-spawn; No built-in option to record and replay games/demos; Cannot import external map levels; Cannot import alternate graphics or sounds/music; No way to adjust graphics resolution; No equivalent for several PC Doom cheat codes; Cannot place numerical markings on the Automap. o All Doom/Doom II games will experience speed fluctuations during gameplay. In general, overall game speed will slow down with an increase in sprites and textures displayed on the screen, and will speed up with a decrease in displayed sprites and textures. o Each player in a multiplayer game requires a dedicated game system with its own display device, a separate copy of the appropriate game, and the ability to establish a connection to the other player's system. (None of the games covered here support "split-screen" play.) Of the console/handheld Doom games, only the Sony PlayStation, Atari Jaguar, Super Nintendo and both Game Boy Advance games support (or supported) a multiplayer mode. In each case, a game system must be connected to another fully-compatible system via one or more separately-sold devices. o With the exception of Doom II for the Game Boy Advance, all game-console and handheld Doom games exclude some of the map levels found in the original PC games. Because of this, the exact playing order of map levels will differ from that of the comparable PC game. (Some game-console versions also have new hidden exits added to some map levels.) o In all Doom games, monsters can turn and/or move in any one of at least 8 lateral directions. (In some versions of the game, however, monsters often appear to be walking backwards, or "crab-walking" sideways. This happens in the Super Nintendo and Sega 32X Doom games, where artwork is supplied only for the forward surfaces of monsters; No artwork is included to give monsters the appearance of turning or facing away from the player.) o Most console Doom games allow cheat codes to be entered with an ordinary game controller. Various codes may also be loaded into most console/handheld Doom games with separately sold devices (such as a Game Genie or Game Shark) that plug into the game system. 2. COMPUTER-BASED DOOM/DOOM II GAMES ==================================== o Various IBM-PC 486 computers, and PC-compatible 486 and Pentium computers, were used as the test systems for the PC games described in this document (version 1.9 of PC Ultimate Doom and version 1.9 of PC Doom II: Hell on Earth were tested, as well as various earlier versions of all PC Doom and Doom II games). For testing multiplayer games, these computers were connected to similar systems via various network and/or modem connections. o Pros: In general, more features and options, and greater versatility than all game-console or handheld versions of Doom or Doom II. 2 players may play simultaneously via modem connection; Up to 4 may play via network connection. On a modern PC, gameplay is somewhat faster/smoother than in most console/ handheld Doom games. Ability to use and configure a variety of input devices (keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.) for game play. Supports 9 screen sizes, which also allows the first-person view to be expanded to fill the entire screen (an option otherwise only available in Doom 64). Deathmatch games may include monsters. Doom II-based PC games allow more monster types than are available in almost all console/handheld-based Doom or Doom II games. A game in progress may be saved at any point and restored later to the same point. Saved games retain copious information (player location, health, weapon, ammo and armor status, live/dead status of all monsters on the map level, etc.). Original Doom 1 with Episode 1 is still available as shareware. Thousands of external map levels are available for use with these games. Built-in ability to record and review single-player/multiplayer game sessions. Later PC Doom/ Doom II game releases include extensive documentation and reference material with the software. Separate programs exist which allow players to create or edit new map levels, new artwork and/or new sounds for existing Doom games. A variety of free third-party engines have been released, adding improved graphics, better multiplayer support, and other features to the commercial PC Doom/Doom II games. Wide variety of built-in cheat codes. o Cons: Some infrequently-encountered flaws exist in the original commercial PC Doom/Doom II games, including a program bug that creates nearly-intangible monsters, and a bug that can allow a player character to become trapped partially inside solid objects when reloading saved games. A user must have 2 separate games ("The Ultimate Doom: Thy Flesh Consumed" and "Doom II: Hell on Earth") to play most of the map levels found in the Sony PlayStation or Sega Saturn Doom games. o Miscellaneous: Games by id Software and GT Interactive. Disk or CD format. Decent graphics resolution and quality; Very good in some hardware/software configurations. The commercial edition of Doom (or "Doom 1") for the PC includes 27 map levels, divided into three 9-map Episodes. A later release of the game, called "The Ultimate Doom: Thy Flesh Consumed" includes the original first three Episodes, and a newer fourth Episode containing 9 more map levels. Doom II ("Doom 2: Hell on Earth") for the PC has 32 map levels built in, and adds new monsters and 1 new weapon not found in Doom 1 or Ultimate Doom. None of the maps built into any PC Doom/Doom II game are found in Doom 64. Occasionally, when a Pain Elemental monster (in Doom II) dies, the Lost Souls generated by its explosion may be flung through nearby walls, where they may become trapped (this has little effect on the game, since Lost Souls do not count towards a Kills score). 3. SONY PLAYSTATION DOOM ======================== o A Sony PlayStation, model SCPH-1001, equipped with one standard PlayStation controller (model SCPH-1080), was used as the test system for the Custom PlayStation Edition of Doom described in this document. For testing multiplayer games, the system was connected to an identical system via the PlayStation Link cable (model SCPH-1040). o Pros: Features most of the map levels (or equivalents) from the PC games "The Ultimate Doom" and "Doom II" (Doom 2: Hell on Earth). Large variety of monster types (17), tying with Sega Saturn Doom for greatest variety among all large-format console Doom games. 2-player link ability, providing the largest selection of multiplayer map levels among all console/handheld games. The first-person view and status bar combination fills the entire display space on the TV/monitor screen. Map level, skill level, health, armor, weapon and ammo information is translated to a password code which is given after successful completion of each map level (some other console Doom games cannot save such information externally). The last password entered or generated on the password screen may be re-entered with a single button press (useful when, for example, a player is killed and wishes to restart on the map with a non-default status). Extensive controller customizing is allowed (Fire button can swap functions with Speed button or Activate button, etc.). o Cons: The 24 maps from Jaguar Doom are incorporated into the 33-map "Ultimate Doom" Episode (most of the maps in Atari Jaguar Doom are edited/simplified versions of the original PC Doom maps). Minor errors appear in a few map levels (secret room impossible to access, difficulty in picking up an item, etc.). No crushing ceilings in the "Ultimate Doom" maps. From powering up the PlayStation, there is a relatively long wait (over a minute) before the player can actually start playing. Game cannot make use of a memory card (sold separately). Game does not save controller or sound configuration settings. Some monster/enemy types from PC Doom II are missing from this version, including the Arch-Vile, "SS Officer", and the "Baphomet"/Boss entity. Occasionally, objects in the foreground are partially overlaid by background wall or floor textures. Weapons are cyclic-access only (although weapon choices may be cycled while the game is paused). The status bar can only display the ammo level of the currently selected weapon (in PC and GBA Doom games, all ammo levels for all weapons can be displayed at all times). All of the built-in cheat codes are rather long and complex (for example, an invincibility cheat code is 3 button-presses on the Jaguar, 5 on the PC, 10 on the PlayStation). No "Gamma Correction" feature or equivalent. o Miscellaneous: Port by id Software and Williams Entertainment, Inc. CD format. 59 map levels, 8 of which are not found in PC Doom/Doom II games. Good graphics resolution and quality. Gameplay speed is adequate, but can be somewhat slower than a PC Doom/Doom II game played on a modern computer. Game information stored in a password code may be inaccurate (health, armor and ammo level numbers tend to be rounded). Graphics, overall, tend to be darker here than in some other versions. Features music tracks (and other background audio effects) not found in PC Doom games. Features new colored lighting effects. Health potions and Spiritual Armor bonuses add 2% to a player's health or armor (versus 1% in the PC games). In PC Doom II, the two shotgun types are both represented as weapon 3 in the status bar; In PSX Doom, the shotgun types are separated into weapons 3 and 4. No "Nightmare" skill level. Some Doom II monsters (Heavy Weapon Dude, Revenant, etc.) appear in the "Ultimate Doom" maps when playing at the highest skill level ("Ultra Violence"). Monster and weapon sounds tend to differ from the sounds used in the PC games. In this game, "blurred" objects are translucent and faded, but otherwise maintain their normal colors and surface features (in the PC games, "blurred" objects, when visible, are a translucent gray, with a flat, flowing/scrambled surface). Another version of the Spectre appears in this game: the "Nightmare Spectre", which appears visibly darker, and is harder to kill than the normal Spectre. The Nightmare Spectre is a not a 1-to-1 replacement for the missing Arch-Vile monster. Very tall rooms/areas from equivalent maps in the PC game(s) are shorter in this version. An "X-ray vision" cheat code not found in the PC games is included. An animated "wall of fire" exterior background is used in some map levels. Some monsters and monster projectiles tend to move slower than their PC-game counterparts. Graphics "noise" may sometimes be seen along the top or bottom edges of walls. On occasion, the "marine face" in the status bar explodes when the player character dies. On occasion, when a Pain Elemental monster dies, the Lost Souls generated by its explosion may be flung through nearby walls, where they may become trapped. Lost Souls that are trapped in walls may still be visible, but may be impossible to kill (this has little effect on the game, since Lost Souls do not count towards a Kills score). The voice effect that accompanies "victory text" is not heard if Music Volume is turned down. Some monsters on the original PC maps are replaced with different monsters on the equivalent maps in this version. In 2-player games, both player characters wear a green uniform. In Cooperative games, Frags are not indicated in the tally screens. The "WOLFENSTEIN" and "GROSSE" secret map levels from PC Doom II do not appear in this game. The "Commander Keen" character from PC Doom II is not included. The "Lots of Goodies" cheat code will not add keys if they are not necessary. o PC Ultimate Doom and PlayStation Doom map level comparison: PC ULTIMATE DOOM MAPS | PSX DOOM "ULTIMATE DOOM" MAPS -----------------------------|------------------------------ MAP : MAP NAME(S) | MAP : MAP NAME -----:-----------------------|-----:------------------------ E1M1.:.HANGAR................|..1..:.HANGAR.................

The PC Doom/PC Ultimate Doom map in Episode 3 Mission 7 is referred to as "GATE TO LIMBO" in the tally screens, and "LIMBO" in the Automap. The PSX "HELL KEEP" map does not match the PC "HELL KEEP" map. (It does, however, match an equivalent map in the Saturn, Jaguar, 3DO and GBA Doom 1 games.) o PC Doom II (Doom 2: Hell on Earth) and PlayStation Doom map level comparison: PC DOOM II MAPS | PSX DOOM "DOOM II" MAPS ------------------------------------------|-------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME(S) | MAP : MAP NAME ----:-------------------------------------|-----:-------------------- ..1.:.ENTRYWAY............................|.31..:.ENTRYWAY........... ..2.:.UNDERHALLS..........................|.32..:.UNDERHALLS......... ..3.:.THE GANTLET.........................|.33..:.THE GANTLET........ ..4.:.THE FOCUS...........................|.34..:.THE FOCUS.......... ..5.:.THE WASTE TUNNELS...................|.35..:.THE WASTE TUNNELS.. ..6.:.THE CRUSHER.........................|.36..:.THE CRUSHER........ ..7.:.DEAD SIMPLE.........................|.37..:.DEAD SIMPLE........ ..8.:.TRICKS AND TRAPS....................|.38..:.TRICKS AND TRAPS... ..9.:.THE PIT.............................|.39..:.THE PIT............ .10.:.REFUELING BASE......................|.40..:.REFUELING BASE..... .11.:.CIRCLE OF DEATH/'O' OF DESTRUCTION!.|.41..:.O OF DESTRUCTION!.. .12.:.THE FACTORY.........................|.42..:.THE FACTORY........ .13.:.DOWNTOWN............................|.....:.................... .14.:.THE INMOST DENS.....................|.43..:.THE INMOST DENS.... .15.:.INDUSTRIAL ZONE.....................|.....:.................... .16.:.SUBURBS.............................|.44..:.SUBURBS............ .17.:.TENEMENTS...........................|.45..:.TENEMENTS.......... .18.:.THE COURTYARD.......................|.46..:.THE COURTYARD...... .19.:.THE CITADEL.........................|.47..:.THE CITADEL........ .20.:.GOTCHA!.............................|.....:.................... .21.:.NIRVANA.............................|.48..:.NIRVANA............ .22.:.THE CATACOMBS.......................|.49..:.THE CATACOMBS...... .23.:.BARRELS O' FUN......................|.50..:.BARRELS OF FUN..... .24.:.THE CHASM...........................|.....:.................... .25.:.BLOODFALLS..........................|.51..:.BLOODFALLS......... .26.:.THE ABANDONED MINES.................|.52..:.THE ABANDONED MINES .27.:.MONSTER CONDO.......................|.53..:.MONSTER CONDO...... .28.:.THE SPIRIT WORLD....................|.....:.................... .29.:.THE LIVING END......................|.....:.................... .30.:.ICON OF SIN.........................|.....:.................... .31.:.WOLFENSTEIN.........................|.....:.................... .32.:.GROSSE..............................|.....:.................... ----:-------------------------------------|-----:-------------------- ....:.....................................|.54..:.REDEMPTION DENIED.. ....:.....................................|.58..:.THE MANSION........ ....:.....................................|.59..:.CLUB DOOM.......... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: In PC Doom II, map 11 is referred to as "CIRCLE OF DEATH" in the tally screens, and "'O' OF DESTRUCTION!" in the Automap. 4. SEGA SATURN DOOM =================== o A Sega Saturn unit, model MK-80000A, equipped with one standard Sega Saturn Control Pad (model MK-80116), was used as the test system for the Sega Saturn Doom game described in this document. o Pros: Features most of the map levels (or equivalents) from the PC games "The Ultimate Doom" and "Doom II" (Doom 2: Hell on Earth). Large variety of monster types (17), tying with PlayStation Doom for greatest variety among all large-format console Doom games. The first-person view and status bar combination fills the entire display space on the TV/monitor screen. Map level, skill level, health, armor, weapon and ammo information is translated to a password code which is given after successful completion of each map level (some other console Doom games cannot save such information externally). The last password entered or generated on the password screen may be re-entered with a single button press (useful when, for example, a player is killed and wishes to restart on the map with a non-default status). Extensive controller customizing is allowed (Fire button can swap functions with Speed button or Activate button, etc.). o Cons: No multiplayer ability. Overall game speed is slower/choppier in this version than in the PC games and some other console versions. The 24 maps from Jaguar Doom are incorporated into the 33-map "Ultimate Doom" Episode (most of the maps in Atari Jaguar Doom are edited/simplified versions of the original PC Doom maps). Minor errors appear in a few map levels (secret room impossible to access, difficulty in picking up an item, etc.). No crushing ceilings in the "Ultimate Doom" maps. Game cannot make use of a memory cartridge (sold separately). Game does not save controller or sound/music configuration settings. Basic "strafing"/side-stepping maneuvers tend to be somewhat slower here than in many other versions. Weapons are cyclic-access only, and can only be cycled in one direction. Some monster/enemy types from PC Doom II are missing from this version, including the Arch-Vile, "SS Officer", and the "Baphomet"/Boss entity. The status bar can only display the ammo level of the currently selected weapon (in PC and GBA Doom games, all ammo levels for all weapons can be displayed at all times). Background objects or surfaces occasionally overlap foreground objects or surfaces. No "Gamma Correction" feature or equivalent. o Miscellaneous: Port by id Software, Rage Software and GT Interactive. CD format. 59 map levels, 8 of which are not found in PC Doom/Doom II games. Decent graphics resolution and quality. Saturn Doom is very similar to the earlier PlayStation (PSX) Doom game (map levels, monsters, sound effects, music, and passwords used are all virtually identical). Saturn Doom graphics are similar to the PSX Doom graphics, but tend to be marginally brighter, and lack some of the enhanced lighting and color effects used in PSX Doom. Game information stored in a password code may be inaccurate (health, armor and ammo level numbers tend to be rounded). Health potions and Spiritual Armor bonuses add 2% to a player's health or armor (versus 1% in the PC games). In PC Doom II, the two shotgun types are both represented as weapon 3 in the status bar; In Saturn Doom, the shotgun types are separated into weapons 3 and 4. No "Nightmare" skill level. Some Doom II monsters (Heavy Weapon Dude, Revenant, etc.) appear in the "Ultimate Doom" maps when playing at the highest skill level ("Ultra Violence"). Monster and weapon sounds tend to differ from the sounds used in the PC games. In this game, "blurred" objects are translucent and faded, but otherwise maintain their normal colors and surface features (in the PC games, "blurred" objects, when visible, are a translucent gray, with a flat, flowing/scrambled surface). A second version of the Spectre appears in this game: the "Nightmare Spectre", which looks like the normal Spectre, but is harder to kill. The Nightmare Spectre is a not a 1-to-1 replacement for the missing Arch-Vile monster. Very tall rooms/ areas from equivalent maps in the PC game(s) are shorter in this version. Some monsters and monster projectiles tend to move slower than their PC-game counterparts. The player character's basic running speed (compared to other moving objects in the same Doom environment) is somewhat faster here than in other versions. In general, each weapon's "rapid-fire" rate is higher here than in other Doom games. Graphics "noise" may sometimes be seen along the top or bottom edges of walls. On occasion, when a Pain Elemental monster dies, the Lost Souls generated by its explosion may be flung through nearby walls, where they may become trapped. Lost Souls that are trapped in walls may still be visible, but may be impossible to kill (this has little effect on the game, since Lost Souls do not count towards a Kills score). The voice effect that accompanies "victory text" is not heard if Music Volume is turned down. Some monsters on the original PC maps are replaced with different monsters on the equivalent maps in this version. Player may select stereo (default) or monophonic audio. Stereo sounds may occasionally phase-shift, giving false impressions of sound sources (for example, during continuous firing of the player's chaingun, some of the reports may seem to originate from a point to the player's left or right). Pausing the game does not interrupt music. "DEMO" will flash on the screen while demo games are shown. 3 demo games are shown during Attract mode (including demos from 2 "secret" map levels), then the third demo is repeated once before cycling back to the first. In most Doom/Doom II games that end victoriously with a "parade" (or "Cast of Characters"), the parade will continue until the player resets or restarts the game; In Saturn Doom, the parade runs through one time, and then the game returns to the Main Menu screen. The "WOLFENSTEIN" and "GROSSE" secret map levels from PC Doom II do not appear in this game. The "Commander Keen" character from PC Doom II is not included. The "Lots of Goodies" cheat code will not add keys if they are not necessary. o PC Ultimate Doom and Saturn Doom map level comparison: PC ULTIMATE DOOM MAPS | SATURN DOOM "ULTIMATE DOOM" MAPS -----------------------------|--------------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME(S) | MAP : MAP NAME -----:-----------------------|-----:--------------------------- E1M1.:.HANGAR................|..1..:.HANGAR....................

(It does, however, match an equivalent map in the PSX, Jaguar, 3DO and GBA Doom 1 games.) o PC Doom II (Doom 2: Hell on Earth) and Saturn Doom map level comparison: PC DOOM II MAPS | SATURN DOOM "DOOM II" MAPS ------------------------------------------|--------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME(S) | MAP : MAP NAME ----:-------------------------------------|-----:--------------------- ..1.:.ENTRYWAY............................|.31..:.ENTRYWAY............ ..2.:.UNDERHALLS..........................|.32..:.UNDERHALLS.......... ..3.:.THE GANTLET.........................|.33..:.THE GANTLET......... ..4.:.THE FOCUS...........................|.34..:.THE FOCUS........... ..5.:.THE WASTE TUNNELS...................|.35..:.THE WASTE TUNNELS... ..6.:.THE CRUSHER.........................|.36..:.THE CRUSHER......... ..7.:.DEAD SIMPLE.........................|.37..:.DEAD SIMPLE......... ..8.:.TRICKS AND TRAPS....................|.38..:.TRICKS AND TRAPS.... ..9.:.THE PIT.............................|.39..:.THE PIT............. .10.:.REFUELING BASE......................|.40..:.REFUELING BASE...... .11.:.CIRCLE OF DEATH/'O' OF DESTRUCTION!.|.41..:.O OF DESTRUCTION!... .12.:.THE FACTORY.........................|.42..:.THE FACTORY......... .13.:.DOWNTOWN............................|.....:..................... .14.:.THE INMOST DENS.....................|.43..:.THE INMOST DENS..... .15.:.INDUSTRIAL ZONE.....................|.....:..................... .16.:.SUBURBS.............................|.44..:.SUBURBS............. .17.:.TENEMENTS...........................|.45..:.TENEMENTS........... .18.:.THE COURTYARD.......................|.46..:.THE COURTYARD....... .19.:.THE CITADEL.........................|.47..:.THE CITADEL......... .20.:.GOTCHA!.............................|.....:..................... .21.:.NIRVANA.............................|.48..:.NIRVANA............. .22.:.THE CATACOMBS.......................|.49..:.THE CATACOMBS....... .23.:.BARRELS O' FUN......................|.50..:.BARRELS OF FUN...... .24.:.THE CHASM...........................|.....:..................... .25.:.BLOODFALLS..........................|.51..:.BLOODFALLS.......... .26.:.THE ABANDONED MINES.................|.52..:.THE ABANDONED MINES. .27.:.MONSTER CONDO.......................|.53..:.MONSTER CONDO....... .28.:.THE SPIRIT WORLD....................|.....:..................... .29.:.THE LIVING END......................|.....:..................... .30.:.ICON OF SIN.........................|.....:..................... .31.:.WOLFENSTEIN.........................|.....:..................... .32.:.GROSSE..............................|.....:..................... ----:-------------------------------------|-----:--------------------- ....:.....................................|.54..:.REDEMPTION DENIED... ....:.....................................|.58..:.THE MANSION......... ....:.....................................|.59..:.CLUB DOOM........... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: In PC Doom II, map 11 is referred to as "CIRCLE OF DEATH" in the tally screens, and "'O' OF DESTRUCTION!" in the Automap. 5. NINTENDO 64 DOOM 64 ====================== o Note that Doom 64, unlike other console/handheld Doom games, is not a direct port or conversion of an existing PC Doom game. It does, however, share many of the same features and functions that exist in all other Doom and Doom II games. o A Nintendo 64 Control Deck, model NUS-001, equipped with one standard Nintendo 64 Controller (model NUS-005), was used as the test system for the Doom 64 game described in this document. o Pros: Comparatively smooth, high-resolution graphics produced through dynamic antialiasing. The "pixelation" effect (a drop in graphics resolution seen in other Doom games as the player character approaches a surface or object) is notably reduced here. Features some new graphics effects (fog/mist, fading objects, animated skies, etc.). First-person view fills the entire space on the TV/monitor screen (with or without the "status bar" displayed). The "bar" of the "status bar" is invisible: only the numerals used for health, ammo and armor (and the icons used for keys) will actually obstruct any part of the first-person view. The status bar may be switched off, allowing only the first-person view to fill the screen (an option not found in any other console Doom game). Map level, skill level, health, armor, weapon and ammo information is translated to a password code which is given after successful completion of each map level (some other console Doom games cannot save such information externally). On the password screen, the last password entered or generated may be re-entered with a single button press (useful when, for example, a player is killed and wishes to restart on the map with a non-default status). The game supports a "Controller Pak" (a separately-sold memory cartridge device) which allows storage and retrieval of up to 16 game passwords. Built-in screen brightness adjustment option, somewhat similar to the "Gamma Correction" feature in the PC Doom games. Automap is dual-mode, allowing a player to view the map with a detailed textured floor (using an Area's actual floor textures), or view the map as a plain (PC-Doom style), untextured Automap. Extensive controller customizing is allowed (Fire button can swap functions with Speed button or Activate button, etc.), including an ability to choose and/or modify any one of 5 preset configurations. Player may walk and move in the game with the controller's directional-pad buttons, and/or with the controller's built-in joystick. The player character can rotate at varying speeds: turning slowly using controller buttons, marginally faster using the joystick, or very fast with the joystick if "Controller Stick Sensitivity" is increased through a setting under the game's Options Menu. The game provides a control for "centering" the position of the game screen on the display device, allowing horizontal and vertical adjustments. Game messages (such as "PICKED UP A BOX OF SHELLS") may be toggled on or off, as can be done in the PC Doom games. o Cons: No multiplayer ability. On some display devices the first-person view may seem too dark, and/or the status bar data may be difficult to read, even when the game's brightness level is set to maximum. Occasionally objects in the foreground are partially overlaid by background wall or floor textures. Weapons are cyclic-access only. Game does not save controller, display, or sound configuration settings. Although joystick-based turning speed can be greatly increased through a setting under the game's Options Menu, D-pad (or button-based) turning speed cannot. The status bar can only display the ammo level of the currently selected weapon (in PC and GBA Doom games, all ammo levels for all weapons can be displayed at all times). Once in Automap mode, a player must cycle through both Automap styles to return to the first-person view (this can be done almost instantaneously if desired, but must be done every time the Automap is accessed). At 16 characters long, the passwords are somewhat cumbersome to enter ("type in"), unless they are stored in a separately-sold Controller Pak memory cartridge. The delay between a player character's death and subsequent resurrection is longer here than in other Doom games. o Miscellaneous: Game by id Software and Midway Home Entertainment, Inc. Cartridge format. 32 map levels, none of which are found in PC Doom/Doom II games. Gameplay speed is adequate, but some aspects of a player character's motion (such as running speed) may be marginally slower here than in a PC Doom/Doom II game played on a modern computer. More monster/enemy variety in this game than in most Doom 1-based games (several of the Doom 64 monster types are copied from PC Doom II). With some new features and completely re-worked graphics, the "look and feel" of this game bears only a distant resemblance to all other Doom games. All enemies have a modified appearance, and in some cases are only vaguely similar to their counterparts in other Doom or Doom II games. Virtually all objects and surface textures have been changed from their original designs, including weapons, power-ups, walls, floors, ceilings, switches and teleporters. Map levels may have structures that provide crossing paths at different elevations (such as a solid bridge that a player can walk over or under), and similar map features which are not found in other Doom games. Graphics, overall, tend to be darker here than in most other versions. Features new music tracks (and other background audio effects), not used in the PC games. Some features appear in this game that appear in no other Doom or Doom II game, including horizontally-sliding surfaces, wall-mounted monitors that can be used to view distant parts of the map, automated traps that launch projectiles, etc. Doom 64 features a new "Boss" monster (referred to in the game as the "Mother of all Demons") which is not found in any other Doom game. The Spider Mastermind monster found in most other Doom games is not included. Another version of the Imp appears in this game: the "Nightmare Imp", which is semi-translucent, darker, and faster than the normal Imp, and launches high-velocity fireballs. Arachnotrons fire twin, side-by-side plasma bursts (versus single-stream bursts in all other games). Pain Elemental monsters can release 2 Lost Souls at a time (versus a maximum of 1 at a time in all other games). Lost Souls are semi-translucent in this game, and tend to attack more quickly than their counterparts in other games. In Doom 64, Baron-Of-Hell projectiles can injure Hell Knights, and vice-versa (in other Doom/Doom II games, both projectiles are harmless to both monsters). The "Demon" monster (a pink, muscular, hunched-over, biting monster), is referred to as a "Bull Demon" in the manual included with the game. A Spectre Demon is opaque until it discovers a player character, whereupon it becomes translucent. If a translucent Spectre Demon is killed, its body becomes opaque. A new laser-type weapon appears in this game, and uses the same "cell" ammunition as a plasma rifle or BFG 9000. Doom 64 includes a unique type of power-up (referred to in this document as a "Demon Artifact") which acts both as an enhancement for the new laser weapon, and as a special key/activator for use within the game's final map level. Demon Artifacts have an appearance somewhat similar to the demon/pentagram graphic which is used both in the game's tally screens and on the cover of the game's manual. When a Demon Artifact is picked up, an icon representing that particular Artifact appears at the lower-right corner of the Automap screen. A double-barrelled "Super Shotgun" (similar to the weapon found in "Doom II" games) appears in this game. The double-barrelled shotgun and the rocket launcher both have a "kick" when firing, giving a slight backwards push against the player character. In this game, the plasma rifle tends to make a continuous buzzing noise whenever it is selected as the current weapon. In this game, the chain saw has a pair of blades, side by side (versus a single blade in all other Doom games). In all other Doom games, only players and monsters may be teleported from place to place; In Doom 64, other objects (power-ups, weapons, and structures) may also be moved from place to place, or fade in and out of existence. Occasionally monsters will spontaneously "fade in" to a location on the current map (an effect which is similar to teleportation). Game information stored in a password code may be inaccurate (health, armor and ammo level numbers tend to be rounded). Monster and weapon sounds tend to differ from the sounds used in the PC games (in fact most sound effects are identical to those used in the PlayStation (PSX) Doom games, released prior to Doom 64). The sound effect used in PSX Doom for an item respawning during a Deathmatch game is used in this game to indicate that a monster or item/object is "fading into" (or "spawning into") a nearby location. In this game, "blurred" objects are translucent and faded, but otherwise maintain their normal colors and surface features (in the PC games, "blurred" objects, when visible, are a translucent gray, with a flat, flowing/scrambled surface). Explosive barrels are not mentioned in the game manual, but do appear in this game, as they do in all other Doom games. The "marine face", seen in the status bar of all other Doom/Doom II games, is not in the status bar in this game. "Secret areas" are usually announced (via on-screen messages) as a player character enters them. While walking/running in Automap mode, the player icon does not turn to change direction; instead, the Automap rotates around the icon, which is always facing north. In this game, the "radiation shield" power-up appears as a green "biohazard" symbol, instead of as the white full-body "radiation suit" seen in all other Doom games. The physical location of an item on a given map can vary with the skill level that the map is played on (for example, the blue keycard in the STAGING AREA map is in an open area when the game is played on skill 1, but is located in a small, closed room on skill 4). Doom 64 uses skill level names unique among console Doom games: "BE GENTLE!", "BRING IT ON!", "I OWN DOOM!", and "WATCH ME DIE!". Some surfaces with 1-way transparency are used in this game (a feature otherwise found only in the PC Doom games and GBA Doom II). In Doom 64, entering a valid map 1 password, or using a special locked exit on map 32, will reveal a hidden "Features Menu", which allows access to various cheat functions. On occasion, the first-person view will shake as an indication of a major change in the current map level (changes in the map topography, structures, etc.). When the player fires a weapon, the first-person display can jump or vibrate with the weapon's recoil. Every 30 seconds of idle time after a player character dies, the game will display one of 12 "taunts" (such as "HAHAHAHA!" or "HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH?"). Both shotgun types are reloaded without the relatively elaborate reloading animation seen in all other Doom/Doom II games (however the weapon reloading times remain comparable to those of the other games). In most Doom and Doom II games the plasma rifle is swung up and to the side for a moment at the end of a firing sequence; in this game the weapon always faces forward. o N64 Doom 64 map levels: Map | Map name ----|----------------- ..1.|.STAGING AREA.... ..2.|.THE TERRAFORMER. ..3.|.MAIN ENGINEERING ..4.|.HOLDING AREA.... ..5.|.TECH CENTER..... ..6.|.ALPHA QUADRANT.. ..7.|.RESEARCH LAB.... ..8.|.FINAL OUTPOST... ..9.|.EVEN SIMPLER.... .10.|.THE BLEEDING.... .11.|.TERROR CORE..... .12.|.ALTAR OF PAIN... .13.|.DARK CITADEL.... .14.|.EYE OF THE STORM .15.|.DARK ENTRIES.... .16.|.BLOOD KEEP...... .17.|.WATCH YOUR STEP. .18.|.SPAWNED FEAR.... .19.|.THE SPIRAL...... .20.|.BREAKDOWN....... .21.|.PITFALLS........ .22.|.BURNT OFFERINGS. .23.|.UNHOLY TEMPLE... .24.|.NO ESCAPE....... .25.|.CAT AND MOUSE... .26.|.HARDCORE........ .27.|.PLAYGROUND...... .28.|.THE ABSOLUTION.. .29.|.OUTPOST OMEGA... .30.|.THE LAIR........ .31.|.IN THE VOID..... .32.|.HECTIC.......... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: The map levels in Doom 64 match none of those found in any other Doom or Doom II game. 6. ATARI JAGUAR DOOM ==================== o An Atari Jaguar 64-Bit Interactive Multimedia System, equipped with one standard Jaguar controller, was used as the test system for the Atari Jaguar Doom game described in this document. For testing multiplayer games, the system was hooked to an identical system via the Jaglink Interface cable. Multiplayer games were then tested with identical systems hooked together via a pair of linked Catbox interface devices (sold separately by ICD, Inc.). o Pros: 2-player ability (although multiplayer function may be unstable). The first-person view and status bar combination fills the entire display space on the TV/monitor screen. Some controller customizing allowed (Fire button can swap functions with Speed button or Activate button, etc.). Memory built into the game cartridge will automatically store controller configuration settings, the sound volume setting, the current skill level setting, and also stores the map level numbers of all Areas that were successfully conquered (except Area 24). When first starting up the game, a player may choose to start play on any of 23 map levels previously conquered (this is a quick process, as there are no passwords to keep or re-enter), and may choose a different skill level to play it at. During a game in progress, weapons are direct-access. The built-in cheat codes may be entered quickly and easily (for example, an invincibility cheat code is 3 button-presses on the Jaguar, 5 on the PC, 10 on the PlayStation). The Jaguar Doom game comes with a plastic overlay which fits into the top of the game controller, providing labels and weapon icons for the buttons on the controller's keypad. o Cons: Most of the maps in this game are edited/simplified versions of the original PC Doom maps. Games in progress cannot be saved (but a player may start a new game on any of 23 map levels previously conquered). As stated in the game manual, occasional "Network Errors" can occur during Deathmatch and Cooperative games, causing a game in progress to suddenly start over again on the current map. Only 7 monster types in the game (tying with the Sega 32X and GBA Doom 1 games for least variety). No Spectre Demon. No Cyberdemon or Spider Mastermind monsters. No Blur Artifacts. No light-amplification visors. No crushing ceilings. No music during gameplay. Somewhat lower graphics resolution or quality than some other large-screen console Doom games. The status bar can only display the ammo level of the currently selected weapon (in PC and GBA Doom games, all ammo levels for all weapons can be displayed at all times). o Miscellaneous: Port by id Software. Cartridge format. 24 map levels, 2 of which are not found in PC Doom games. Adequate graphics resolution and quality. Gameplay speed is adequate, but can be somewhat slower than a PC Doom/Doom II game played on a modern computer. This game's mapset, in whole or in part, also appears in the PlayStation, Saturn, 3DO, Sega 32X and GBA Doom 1 games or Episodes. Rocket and barrel explosions can penetrate solid walls and doors (allowing a player to kill some enemies without ever directly encountering them). Health potions and Spiritual Armor bonuses add 2% to a player's health or armor (versus 1% in the PC games). Picking up an Invulnerability Artifact tints the screen bluish-pink, as opposed to the white-out effect seen in many other versions. In 2-player games, both player characters wear a green uniform. In Deathmatch games, the Frag counts for both players are displayed in each player's status bar. Corrosive floors (slime, etc.) will decrease a player's health quickly (faster in this version of Doom than in most other versions running at a comparable skill level). When the "Happy Ammo" cheat code is used, the player attains an ammo level of 500 rounds for every weapon (versus a specific individual ammo level for each weapon in the PC games). Game manual is written in English, French, German. Game manual states that cartridge memory will not accept more than 100,000 changes to stored information (however this would still allow, for example, 50 changes a day for more than 5 years). o PC Doom/Ultimate Doom and Atari Jaguar Doom map level comparison: PC DOOM/ULTIMATE DOOM MAPS | JAGUAR DOOM MAPS ---------------------------|-------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME(S) | MAP : MAP NAME -----:---------------------|-----:-------------------- E1M1.:.HANGAR..............|..1..:.HANGAR.............

The PC Doom/PC Ultimate Doom map in Episode 3 Mission 7 is referred to as "GATE TO LIMBO" in the tally screens, and "LIMBO" in the Automap. The Jaguar "DIS" map is equivalent to the PC "FORTRESS OF MYSTERY" map; No Jaguar equivalent exists for the PC "DIS" map. The Jaguar "TOWER OF BABEL" map does not match the PC "TOWER OF BABEL" map. (It does, however, match the "TOWER OF BABEL" map in the 3DO and GBA Doom 1 games, and the "HELL GATE" map in the PSX and Saturn games.) The Jaguar "HELL KEEP" map does not match the PC "HELL KEEP" map. (It does, however, match an equivalent map in the PSX, Saturn, 3DO and GBA Doom 1 games.) 7. 3DO (PANASONIC AND OTHERS) DOOM ================================== o A Panasonic REAL 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, model FZ-1, equipped with one standard Panasonic 3DO controller (model FZ-JP1X), was used as the test system for the 3DO Doom game described in this document. o Pros: Some controller customizing allowed (Fire button can swap functions with Speed button or Activate button, etc.). Ability to choose between 4 window sizes (or 6, when using a cheat code) for the first-person view. 3DO system memory automatically stores controller configuration settings, the sound volume setting, the current skill level setting, the selected window size for the first-person view, and also stores the map level numbers of all Areas that were successfully conquered (except Area 24). When first starting up the game, a player may choose to start play on any of 23 map levels previously conquered (this is a quick process, as there are no passwords to keep or re-enter), and may choose a different skill level to play it at. o Cons: Games in progress cannot be saved (but a player may start a new game on any of 23 map levels previously conquered). No multiplayer ability. Overall game animation speed can be choppy, with frequent micro-pauses to access the CD, and animation noticeably slows down and speeds up with variances in the number of on-screen textures and sprites. This game uses the Jaguar Doom mapset (most of the maps in Atari Jaguar Doom are edited/simplified versions of the original PC Doom maps), and includes no other maps. No Cyberdemon or Spider Mastermind monsters. No light-amplification visors. No crushing ceilings. Weapons are cyclic-access only. First-person view does not fill the entire space above the status bar. Game does not utilize all available display space on the TV/monitor screen. The status bar can only display the ammo level of the currently selected weapon (in PC and GBA Doom games, all ammo levels for all weapons can be displayed at all times). o Miscellaneous: Port by Logicware and Art Data Interactive, Inc. CD format. 24 map levels, 2 of which are not found in PC Doom games. Decent graphics resolution and quality. Gameplay speed, overall, is below the average speed of most other Doom games. Features many of the music tracks from PC Doom, re-mastered with new and more distinctive instrumentation. A built-in cheat code allows the first-person view window to be expanded two more times beyond the default maximum size (however, larger windows further slow down the game). The game box for 3DO Doom advertises "full screen display", and the first-person view is indeed maximized within a window; but the window itself (when expanded to any size) is always bordered by static artwork. Rocket and barrel explosions can penetrate solid walls and doors (allowing a player to kill some monsters without ever directly encountering them). Health potions and Spiritual Armor bonuses add 2% to a player's health or armor (versus 1% in the PC games). In this game, "blurred" objects are a translucent gray, with a plain, flat surface (in the PC games, "blurred" objects, when visible, are a translucent gray, with a flat, flowing/scrambled surface). If the "Map All Things" cheat code is used, monster orientations are not indicated, as they are in all other game versions that support this cheat code; All object indicators point in the same direction. The "marine face" in the status bar always explodes when the player character dies. Music from the first map level accompanies the tally screens. No "Attract mode"; no demo games. When the "Happy Ammo" cheat code is used, the player attains an ammo level of 500 rounds for every weapon (versus a specific individual ammo level for each weapon in the PC games). o PC Doom/Ultimate Doom and 3DO Doom map level comparison: PC DOOM/ULTIMATE DOOM MAPS | 3DO DOOM MAPS ---------------------------|-------------------------- MAP : MAP NAME(S) | MAP : MAP NAME -----:---------------------|-----:-------------------- E1M1.:.HANGAR..............|..1..:.HANGAR.............

The PC Doom/PC Ultimate Doom map in Episode 3 Mission 7 is referred to as "GATE TO LIMBO" in the tally screens, and "LIMBO" in the Automap. The 3DO "DIS" map is equivalent to the PC "FORTRESS OF MYSTERY" map; No 3DO equivalent exists for the PC "DIS" map. The 3DO "TOWER OF BABEL" map does not match the PC "TOWER OF BABEL" map. (It does, however, match the "TOWER OF BABEL" map in the Jaguar and GBA Doom 1 games, and the "HELL GATE" map in the PSX and Saturn games.) The 3DO "HELL KEEP" map does not match the PC "HELL KEEP" map. (It does, however, match an equivalent map in the PSX, Saturn, Jaguar and GBA Doom 1 games.) 8. SUPER NINTENDO DOOM ====================== o A Super NES Control Deck, model SNS-001, equipped with one standard Super NES controller (model SNS-005), was used as the test system for the SNES Doom game described in this document. For testing multiplayer games, the system was connected to various similar systems via the X Band network, using a Catapult X Band modem device (model 00100). o Pros: Basic map layouts tend to match the equivalent PC-Doom 1 maps with above-average accuracy (higher accuracy, overall, than that found in every other console version). Simplified-Deathmatch ability via X Band Network connection.
