Section 1: Introduction
=======================
[1.1] What is Doom 64?
----------------------
Doom 64 is the 64-BIT port of the classic PC game that swept the gaming
world in late 1993. Doom made the 3D Shooting genre what it is today, with
many games following in its footsteps including the recent 3D Realms game,
Duke Nukem 3D, Monolith's Blood, and id Software's own Quake. Doom was ported
to the Sega 32X, Atari Jaguar, 3DO, Macintosh, Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn,
and even the SuperNES. But none have come close to a port for the power of
the extremely successful and advanced Nintendo 64, making use of its true
64-BIT system capabilities, and graphical effects such as Anti-Aliasing.
"The best way to describe [Doom 64] is to simply say that it will
rock in every way over PlayStation's, the PC's, and every other machine's
comparably primitive version." -N64.com
"[Doom 64] has an immersive feel unlike any of the other Doom versions,
or any other first-person shooters." -Andrew Hoolan
"The action [in Doom 64] runs at a consistently smooth 30fps no matter
what's on screen," -Knightmare, GameFan Online
[1.2] Who made Doom 64?
-----------------------
The PC gaming veterans of id Software have entrusted the DOOM title to
Midway Home Entertainment for a conversion to the N64. MHEI is the home
division of a arcade/home gaming giant, WMS Industries, Inc. Known for such
past games as Pong, Defender, NARC, Mortal Kombat, and NBA Jam, and having
distributed a few console conversions of Doom in the past. But this is the
first time Midway has developed a Doom game themselves at MHEI in their
development house located in San Diego, California. Despite the absence of
a multiplayer mode, a large percentage are definitely happy with the
resulting product.
"This is Doom! The control and gameplay have been left simple for a
reason, and a damn good one at that - action!" -Knightmare, GameFan Online
"The artists at Midway's San Diego development house also excelled at
creating sprites for enemies. The combination of using high-res sprites, like
the characters in DKC 3, and super-detailed texture maps on polygons turns
out to be a winner. You get the best of both methods."
-Nintendo Power, Volume 93
[1.3] What's New in Doom 64?
----------------------------
The Doom 64 Design Team at Midway Home Entertainment has designed 32
completely new levels from scratch, an improved version of the Doom engine
that takes advantage of the N64 system's capabilities, added one new weapon,
one new monster, a new final boss, mood-setting music and sound effects,
and the most textures to ever be put into a single 3D shooter.
The project was done completely in San Diego with the creative input and
approvals of id Software every step of the way. Of the 32 levels, 25 are
normal ones, 7 are hidden. The Nightmare Imp makes his debut as Mother Demon
takes over as final boss of the game, and you can find the Laser Gun in Level
12: Altar of Pain. The new engine is a real 3D one, like that of Duke Nukem
3D, Quake, Blood, and other newer 3D shooters. What this means is that the
levels can have parts where you can go to an area directly over another area.
"In short, Doom 64 is a whole new Doom." -GamePro Magazine, Number 96
"I've played literally thousands of Doom WADS over the years, and I'm
not kidding when I say that these are among the best I've ever seen - and
that includes id's own." -Knightmare, GameFan Online
"Because the [Doom 64 Monsters] are created by sprites, more of them can
be shown onscreen simultaneously, a problem Quake suffered as players faced
one creature at a time (in 1-player mode)." -N64.com
"The realism of the textures used on the walls, floors, ceilings, and
other structures in the game world are simply the best we've ever encountered
in a video game." -Nintendo Power, Volume 93
"Astonishing is the best way to describe the graphics and action in
Doom 64." -Electronic Gaming Monthly, Number 91
"Play it loud, with the lights low, and I guarantee you'll feel the fear
like never before!" -Knightmare, GameFan Online
[1.4] What's the difference between a 2D hack and a True 3D Engine?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The original Doom engine was a 2D hack, which means maps are defined in
three parameters: X, Y, and Z. X and Y defines the placement on the map, Z
defines how high it is above ground. Therefore, only one floor can be located
at a single X/Y location, whereas in a true 3D engine, you can be on a high
ledge, walk off, turn back, and be able to enter an area directly under it.
[1.5] Can I Save Games in Doom 64?
----------------------------------
Yes, you can save your game if you have controller memory packs. If not,
you can just jot down the passwords given at the completion of a level and
use that to return to where you left off next time you play. If you're using
the controller packs, be sure the pack is properly inserted before turning on
the system.
====================
Section 2: The Story
====================
Your fatigue was enormous, the price for encountering pure evil. Hell
was a place no mortal was meant to experience. Stupid military doctors: their
tests and treatments, were of little help. In the end, what did it matter -
it was all classified and sealed. The nightmares continued. Demons, so many
demons; relentless, pouring through.
The planetary policy was clear. An absolute quarantine guaranteed by
apocalyptic levels of radiation. The empty dark corridors stand motionless,
abandoned. The installations sealed.
A long forgotten relay satellite barely executing, decayed by years of
bombarding neutrons, activates and sends its final message to earth. The
satellite's message was horrific, from the planetary void there came energy
signatures unlike anything sampled before.
The classified archives are opened.
The military episodes code named "DOOM" were not actually completed. A
single entity with vast rejuvenation powers, masked by the extreme radiation
levels, escaped detection. In its crippled state, it systematically altered
decaying dead carnage back into corrupted living tissue.
The mutations are devastating. The Demons have returned even stronger
and more vicious than before. As the only experienced survivor of the DOOM
episode, your commission is re-activated. Your assignment is clear:
MERCILESS EXTERMINATION!
==============================================
Section 3: Firearms, Items, and The Opposition
==============================================
[3.1] The Weapons
-----------------
CHAIN SAW - Cuts down the bodies like standing timber, but you have to get
close. It now has two blades and boasts the logo of the United
Aerospace Corporation (UAC).
YOUR FIST - Your bare hand wearing a glove, balled into a fist. It's possible
to defeat the weaker enemies with the fist, but it's not recommended.
The only exception is when you're "Berserked". You can destroy most
minor monsters with a single punch.
PISTOL - You begin with this little weapon. Plain old pistol to blow away
relatively weaker monsters. One bullet per shot.
Max Ammo: 400
SHOTGUN - This is the second weapon you'll find. Delivers a generous pelt
from a distance and a heavy punch from up close. One shell per shot.
Max Ammo: 100
SUPER SHOTGUN - It's a double-barrel shotgun. This is the third weapon you'll
find. It uses two shells per shot.
Max Ammo: 100
CHAINGUN - Directs heavy firepower into your opponent, making him do the
chaingun cha-cha. Rapidly fires bullets.
Max Ammo: 400
ROCKET LAUNCHER - Delivers an explosive rocket that can turn one bad dude
inside-out.
Max Ammo: 100
PLASMA RIFLE - Rapidly fires rounds of plasma energy.
Max Ammo: 600 (Energy Cells)
BFG 9000 - The prize of the military arsenal, firing enough radiation to
eliminate a crowd. Great for clearing the room of an unwelcome guest.
Uses 40 energy cells per shot and takes a second or two before firing
the ball of radiation.
Max Ammo: 600 (Energy Cells)
LASER RIFLE - Pick up Hell's advanced technology at the Altar of Pain. A
futuristic firearm made of a small skeleton and a chunk of flesh with
a Pentagram carved on it. Good rapid fire weapon.
Max Ammo: 600 (Energy Cells)
[3.2] Artifacts
---------------
HEALTH POTION - Provides a small boost to your health. Can go up to 200%.
SPIRITUAL ARMOR - Provides a little extra protection above and beyond your
normal armor.
SOUL SPHERE - Rarely encountered objects that provide a large boost to your
health.
BLUR ARTIFACT - Strange orbs that make it difficult for others to spot you.
They can still see you from up close so keep your distance.
INVULNERABILITY SPHERE - Makes your view predominately white and you're
temporarily invulnerable.
MEGASPHERE - Combination of Combat Armor and a Soul Sphere!
[3.3] Miscellaneous Items
-------------------------
STIMPACKS - Quick injection of booster enzymes.
MEDKITS - Bandages, Anti-Toxins, and other Medical supplies to restore your
health.
SECURITY ARMOR - Light weight kevler vest perfect for riot control.
COMBAT ARMOR - Heavy duty jacket composed of titanium derivative, useful for
protection against the kinda of firepower you'll be facing.
RADIATION PROTECTION - Protects against radiation, heat, and other forms of
low-intensity forms of heat. Basically, you can walk around in
radioactive ooze without taking damage. Will eventually expire.
BACKPACKS - Packs of ammo for your firearms.
BERZERK - Heals you and pumps you up even more. You'll be able to punch
monsters into chunks of flesh on the ground for the rest of the level
after a small red flash.
COMPUTER MAP - Gives you a full map of the current level. Areas you have yet
to visit are mapped in grey.
NIGHT VISION GOGGLES - Increases your vision to temporarily be able to see
even in pitch dark.
[3.4] The Monsters
------------------
ZOMBIEMAN - Once a Marine, always a Marine. Except in this case. These guys
may look like your old buddies, but now they're nothing more than
pistol-troting, bi-pedal maggots. Waste 'em!
SHOTGUN GUY - Ditto. Except these guys are meaner, and tougher. These walking
shotguns will provide you with a few extra holes if you're not careful.
IMP - You thought an imp was a cute little dude in a red suit with a
pitchfork. Think again. This Imp heaves balls of fire down your throat
and takes several bullets to die. It's time to find a better weapon than
a pistol, if you're going to face more than one of these mutants.
NIGHTMARE IMP - Imps were bad enough, but picture a faster, more aggressive,
harder to spot one!
BULL DEMON - Sorta like shaved gorillas, except with big heads and lots of
teeth. They don't kill easy. Get too close and they'll rip your sorry
head off.
SPECTRE - Great! Just what you needed. A virtually invisible monster. These
beasts will eat your face off while you're trying to see where he is.
Did you expect a walk in the park?
LOST SOULS - It's Tough. It Flies. It's On Fire. 'Nuff Said.
CACODEMON - They float in the air, belch ball-lightning, and have one
horrendously big mouth. If you get too close to one of these
monstrosities, you're toast. The Laser Rifle is great against them.
PAIN ELEMENTAL - What a name. And what a pain in the butt. Killing him is
almost as bad as letting him live. Watch out for the Lost Souls too.
HELL KNIGHT - Tough as a dump truck and nearly as big. These goliaths are the
worst things on two legs since the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
BARON OF HELL - You thought the Hell Knights were bad? These guys make them
look like choir boys. You better have a good supply of ammo and armor to
take on this demon.
MANCUBUS - The only good thing about this fat tub of demon is that he's a
nice wide target. He pumps out missles like nobody's business. A few
rockets will do.
ARACHNOTRON - Think of the pain a Black Widow causes when you disturb her
nest. Then think what happens when you stir up one the size of a
M60 tank. Rapidly fires plasma energy at you.
CYBERDEMON - Half machine, half raging horned devil. This walking nightmare
has a rocket launcher for an arm and will definitely reach out and touch
you. Make sure you're fully loaded before you take on this guy.
MOTHER DEMON - Like a giant flying crayfish shooting a constant stream of
homing missiles and fireballs. The fireballs go along the ground and
fling you in the air when they hit you. Be prepared for the
Final Battle!
[3.5] Basic Tips and Strategies
-------------------------------
- Straffing is the best fighting tactic.
- Get everything back after dying by going to the password screen, and
loading the game again, or if you aren't using a memory pack, press any
button to re-enter your last password.
- The blue key in Level 13: Dark Citadel only appears in the room where
darts fire all over, and only when the darts are firing. Pick up the
invulnerability sphere from the large room before you enter this room so
the darts won't hurt you.
- Some walls are illusions.
- Some monitor panels will allow you to view the contents of other rooms.
- You can obtain the three Special Switch Keys for use with the Final Level
to make the fight with Mother Demon easier, See sections 5.24, 5.25, and
5.26 for details.
===================
Section 4: Cheating
===================
[4.1] The Features Menu
-----------------------
There are no Key Sequence Cheat Codes in Doom 64. However, there IS in
fact a cheat menu in the game. In order to reach the menu, you do NOT enter a
key sequence like in most games, but rather, you must first discover the
hidden Level 32: Hectic, then be able to survive it and collect all three
keys in it before leaving. Once done, you will then have access to the
"Features" cheat menu.
(4.1.1) Finding Level 32: Hectic
--------------------------------
To reach Level 32: Hectic, you must start a new game. Go through
Level 1: The Staging Area and destroy ALL the barrels in the level except the
one to the right of start. There are a total of 10. Remember the secret
areas, the room where the exit is, and the alcove in the hallway leading to
the exit. Be sure to collect the Soul Sphere and Combat Armor for a better
chance at surviving Level 32.
Once you've destroyed all of the level's barrels, take the teleporter
that you can access from the secret area behind the Blue Door. When you
reappear, destroy the barrel ahead of you on your right and enter the door
behind you. A secret area will temporarily open on the left wall that leads
to Level 32: Hectic.
(4.1.2) Walkthru: Obtaining the Three Keys in Level 32: Hectic
--------------------------------------------------------------
At the beginning of Level 32: Hectic, enter the door to the right for
the Red Key. Once you pick it up, you'll be dropped into a room with three
Arachnotrons. Quickly go left or right to get the Rocket Launcher. Destroy
the Arachnotrons and return to the door that leads to this room. Beware of
the crushers that come down from the ceiling, search the wall to lower it and
let it raise you back to the main room.
Enter the door on the other side of the room to get the Blue Key. As
soon as you get it, run back to the door you entered from. The ceiling will
crush you if you stay in the alcove where you find the Blue Key. Four Hell
Knights will appear and the door you came in from will be closed. Destroy
them with your Rocket Launcher to be able to leave the room.
Enter the door on the left side of the room, at the opposite wall is the
Yellow Key. The floor rises in different parts of the room, and darts will
fire from the faces in there. Try your best to avoid damage while getting the
Yellow Key.
Exit the room to return to the start. Directly across from you is a
switch you will now be able to access. Having the keys, you can now remove
the bars and press the switch to exit Level 32: Hectic and gain access to
the "Features" cheat menu.
Pause the game and "Features" will be the fourth selection down.
(4.1.3) Options in the Features Menu
------------------------------------
Warp to Level: This is the ONLY way you can access Level 25: Cat and Mouse,
Level 26: Hardcore, and Level 27: Playground. Three secret "fun" levels
in between Level 24 and the final level, 28: The Absolution.
Invulnerability: Turn "God Mode" ON/OFF using Button A or B. This is equal
to using IDDQD in the original PC Doom.
Health: Use Button A or B to restore your health.
Weapons: Use Button A or B to get all weapons and ammo for each. This is
like using IDKFA in the original Doom PC.
Map Everything: Turn Map Everything ON/OFF using Button A or B. You will
have a full map of the level.
(4.1.4) The Ultimate Password
-----------------------------
It takes skill to cheat in Doom 64, but...
For those of you who are either too lazy to try level 32 or tried it and
just plain and simply can't get through it, here's the password to obtain
access to the "Features" cheat menu as well as all weapons and full ammo for
each.
?TJL BDFW BFGV JVVB
It takes you to Level 1: The Staging Area with all weapons and ammo,
just pause and the fourth selection down is "Features". Thanks goes out to
Dave Senger for this password.
[4.2] Super Password
--------------------
Here's a little password for those of you who like to take shortcuts for
better chance of survival.
W93M 7H2O BCYO PSVB
It takes you to Level 28: The Absolution, and gives you 100% Health,
200% Armor, all weapons, full ammo, backpack, and all three Special Keys
(from Levels 29, 30, and 31) which pumps up the Laser Rifle and allow you to
seal off the gates from which monsters enter the area where you'll be
fighting Mother Demon.
==================

==================
[5.1] The Staging Area -- Three Secrets
---------------------------------------
1. From start, go forward into the hallway. Head
down the hallway and enter the first door on the

steps on the left. Run back towards the door along
the ledge to reach the smaller ledge and search the
wall. You'll find a secret alcove with a powerup.
2. Enter the Blue Door and follow the right-hand
wall. As soon as you go up the steps, turn around
and you'll see an alcove in the pillar. Run into the
alcove, press the switch, back out, turn right and

the next room. When the two staircases appear, go up
either, pressing against the walls. You'll find one
secret area on each staircase.
3. In the room with the Red Door, press both
switches and enter the room that opens up. As soon
as you enter that room, a section of wall to the
right of the Red Door will open up for a secret
area, and a small step appears allowing you to reach
this area. The step only stays there for a very
short while, so it may take a few tries to get to
the step in time.
4. Enter the Blue Door and follow the left-hand wall
around the corner. Search until you hear the sound
of a door opening, and quickly go past the corridor
that leads back to the Blue Door. You'll find a

with some ammo and powerups.
3. Stand with the Blue Door to your right. There are
four switches between the Blue Door and the
staircase. Press the second switch from the Blue
Door, then the one closest to the stairs. Now press

closest to the Blue Door. You can now take the
teleporter to access the other doorway, which is
another exit to Level 29, Outpost Omega.
[5.5] Tech Center -- Two Secrets

Armor above you. While standing under this item,
search the wall to the left of you to find a secret
passage.
2. As soon as you enter the room, go right and ride
the platform up. Turn left so that the Soul Sphere
is to your right. Go forward, stand on the lighted

at the vent and a section of the floor will raise
you up. Now turn right and shoot the vent there to
temporarily remove the bars blocking the Soul
Sphere.
[5.6] Alpha Quadrant -- Two Secrets
-----------------------------------
1. Once you get the Yellow Key, go slowly up the
stairs to exit the room. You'll hear the sound of a
door opening, so quickly go up the stairs and run to
the right. A section of wall has temporarily
lowered, allowing you to get a powerup, the Mega
Sphere.
2. Once you get the Blue Key, go back into the room
with the pillars. Go across to the switch, then turn
around. Go forward onto the first pillar, then turn
and run off towards the raised room. You'll land in
the raised room, so press the switch in there to
open the locked door. Go through the door to get the
Soul Sphere and a secret area percentage.
[5.7] Research Lab -- Five Secrets
----------------------------------
1. From start, exit the room you're in and enter the
door on the right. Go through the room to the next
door but don't enter it. Search the left-hand wall
to find a secret passage.
2. The wall behind the Blue Key drops when get that
key. Pick up Soul Sphere for extra life points and
secret area.
3. While facing the Blue Door, turn left and walk
forward to the wall. Turn left and walk forward.
Take the first right, then go forward all the way.
Turn right, walk forward and enter the second door
on your left. There will be a ledge in the center of
the room, allowing you to go onto the small ledge on
the side of the room. Push against the walls along
this ledge to find a room with the Computer Map.
4. While facing the Blue Door, turn left and walk
forward to the wall. Turn left, walk forward and
take the first right. Head forward all the way and
turn left to find a switch. Press it and run back to
get the Combat Armor that's next to the Blue Door.
5. While facing the exit, turn left and walk

water. Head to the opposite end and stand in the
small alcove. Search the walls in here to find a
secret room with a powerup.

powerups and the Chain saw.
[5.9] The Bleeding -- Five Secrets
----------------------------------
1 and 2. From start, enter either of the two doors
that you can open. Walk forward into the wall and
turn to the right. Walk backwards until you hear the
sound of a door opening, then run forward to find an
opening in the wall. You do the same thing for both
doors.
[Image]
3 and 4. From start, destroy the enemies and enter
the next building. With the door behind you, walk
forward until you reach the wall. Now walk backwards
slowly until a section of the wall in front of you
opens. Run into it to get a Combat Armor, then let
an elevator carry you up. Search the wall to the
left of the switch to find a Rocket Launcher. Now
press the switch to drop back down.
5. When you enter the third building, you can see
the Yellow Key but not get it yet. Go up the
left-hand staircase to the top and turn left. Search
the face to open that section of wall.
[5.10] Terror Core -- Three Secrets
-----------------------------------
1. Right at start, examine the wall behind you for a
Berserk Pak.
2. From the Red Key, head back up the staircase and
stop at the corner. Position yourself so that you're
looking down the stairs, on the left-hand narrow
ledge along the staircase. Walk along that corner
ledge to make a small alcove open up on the ledge
near the room where the Red Key was. Once you enter
the room, turn around and go forward without
stopping to reach the other ledge. Walk along this
ledge back towards the top of the stairs to find a
hallway. This will lead you to the Combat Armor you
saw earlier on a ledge.
3. As soon as you have the Yellow Key, face the
switch on the other wall. Holding your Run Button,
go forward and press the switch right when you reach
the wall. If you time it right, you'll open a wall
next to the teleporter which leads to the Yellow
Key. Walk into this wall opening to be able to reach
the Soul Sphere, which is on another ledge. Use your
map to figure out the shortest distance to the Soul
Sphere. Face the Soul Sphere, then turn so that the
door is to your right. Back up as far as you can,
then hold the Run Button. If you bring up your first
map, you'll see the shortest distance is between two
small corners. Keeping the door to your right, run
forward and turn at the last second, going over the
small corner to reach the other side. (Note:
Reaching the switch, and especially the Soul Sphere,
will take quite a few tries. It can be frustrating,
but keep at it if you want the powerup. Even if you
don't get the Soul Sphere, you'll still get the
secret area percentage). With your back to the Red
Door, go forward and turn right. Open the door and
then go straight back without stopping. The other
door opened up, revealing a secret area and a Rocket
Launcher.
[5.11] Altar of Pain -- Two Secrets
-----------------------------------
1. From start, go into hallway behind you. About
halfway through, start searching the right-hand wall
to find a secret area with a Soul Sphere.
2. You won't be able to get this secret until you

area.

and the center building where you started this
level, with the Rocket Launcher to your back. Walk

the switch. Exit that room, turn right and walk

left. At the end of the hallway, press the switch to
open a section of wall with some ammo and powerups.
3. With the Red Key, go through the Blue Door and

off to the right or left here. Turn right and go

Yellow Key, walk onto the exit area to cause an
earthquake. Now return to the area where the Special
Switch Key is to find a switch. Once you press the
switch that makes the Special Switch Key disappear,
quickly turn around and run back through two
teleporters. Go down the walkway to return to start,
then turn right and enter the Red Door, taking the
teleporter at the end of the walkway. Continue
forward to find a small platform that has
temporarily appeared, allowing you to walk out onto
the wooden walkway. The Special Switch Key 3 is at
the end. Be careful, though, because a bunch of
enemies will appear a few seconds after you get the
Special Switch Key.
