Doom 64
The first dooms were neat because they made 2d look 3D. But 64 was 3D. It felt real at the time and responsibly made me shut out my world and put in headphones to play alone. Boy was it creepy any intense. The sound matched the level that the graphics brought it to. It just got better and better every level. The fact it was on a console at the time! PC gamers scoffed at the idea that a console FPS was as good, but the 64 control was actually amazing! You could control forward/back/turning & fire with just the left hand — while the right hand hovered the left/right triggers for strafing. It was a marvel to have such fluidity. Newer dooms failed to capture the puzzle and atmosphere. 64 was ground breaking in the 3D era
