As I wasn't playing on console until Dreamcast and didn't own one myself until Wii and DS, I never saw or played on N64. So I never even heard of Doom 64. Until it got rereleased recently.

I played the original Doom incarnations, but Doom 64 I find personally better for my tastes. Levels had more recognizability than the first two, while gameplay still was working as before. The game is also much more full of secrets. And add to that a somewhat creepy atmosphere. This works well for me.

It is quite surprising the game wasn't made by id software, as it feels like the first two Doom games in many regards. But Midway very much captured the essence of Doom, while being able to inject their own identity.

That's right

more hints:

#45: After you seemingly died in your sleep, you find that you can return to your own world through a mirror after first finding the sun, moon and the stars. Darashiva used the chance for the easy score.

#44: Sally tries to find Emily in this Nightmare. The arcade level actually has a machine with a previous title from the same developer. Said previous game on the arcade machine is in the list of S.Peelman.

#43: This game all about collecting, crafting and building actually is a spin-off in one of the oldest RPG franchises. Guessed by Zippy6.

#42: The character you choose is declared the saviour of the world and thrown into jail right at the beginning of the game.

#45 Spelunky

Great game. After further research the first hint doesn't fit at all to it. Spelunky 2 released last year though.

#45: Okami HD

A great and beautiful adventure full of heart.

This is an action-adventure game with a wonderful artstyle and fun gameplay with a very unique concept.

It generally reminds of Zelda games, that alone made me like it more and it's also as good as some of them. The drawing concept is genius and creates some great gameplay. The combat and puzzles are very engaging because of that.

The world is fun to explore with alot of stuff to find and do. The Story is really engaging with some great characters. The boss fights are creative and especially the final boss is epic and menacing.

It's sad how it wasn't a success at first.

Okami is a beautiful and unique game with a ton of great ideas that really grew on me the more I played it and I really love it.

Said previous game on the arcade machine is in the list of S.Peelman. The game includes a school, an arcade and a mine as levels and transforms them in some creepy way.

#41: The newest entry in this long-running franchise adds a lot of mobility.

That it is.

Too bad for the devs :(.
