The season for uploading old in-development backup files of video games continues. The latest in the holiday harvest of leaks happens to be an early alpha build of DOOM 64 for the Nintendo 64. The prototype is dated October 12, 1996, with the final build of the game eventually shipping on March 31, 1997. It features early versions of maps that would be changed in the retail release of the game, and a title screen that refers to itself as an "evaluation version". If you've missed the previous leaks, Rayman 4, Duke Nukem Forever, and Super Mario World all saw previously unknown prototype backups made recently.

'Tis the season for some leakin'.... Apparently!!

This is beautiful. I hope these leaks keep coming!

Would love to see if the cut Egyptian level with the pyramid is in this build

Edit: So it probably is not present in this build, but regardless it's cool to see an early version of my favourite Doom game.

Huh, I suppose this was a press copy

Weird to think the press would have gotten alpha builds in the past (unless evaluation means something else)

Edit: after some more thinking perhaps it was for playtesters

I thought evaluation builds where for early Nintendo approval.

You're right, we need more.

after the shit show of free death stranding from EGS i'm all for screwing over multi billion $ companies who treat their workers like slaves and crush dreams and s**t on their fans

Well, it isn't, but there was some other generally Egyptian maps present in this build


Edit: Ok, so not this build, but this video was from an earlier build than the one that leaked. Still pretty interesting though.

Did somebody hack into 3D Realms hidden archive server or something?

You're not yourself when there's too much soy in your diet

 

[ack]

zammis, if you're looking at this, can we get some yokai watch debug roms

 

[johndoegba]

On which emulator does one run the ROM once they have it? None of them seem to work and show either a black screen, or an error.

I would presume Project 64 which is the N64 emulator on PC I prefer, but I don't have access to that rom.
