If you thought Skyrim was bad with its endless re-releases, or maybe you groaned when The Last of Us was re-remastered for the 42nd time, let me introduce you to the undisputed king of "let's just release it again"—DOOM. Since 1993, this game has been ported to everything. Calculators? Check. Smart fridges? Check. A pregnancy test?! You bet. But more than that it has has been actually re-released more times than I could count.
But now, we've reached peak DOOM.
The new $666 Limited Collector's Box doesn't just celebrate DOOM. It runs DOOM. Literally. The box itself has a screen built in and can play the original game. That's where we're at, people. A box. That plays DOOM. And honestly? Kinda iconic.
For that demonic price tag, you also get:
DOOM + DOOM II for every major platform (Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, PC)
An old-school two-piece Big Box
Four cassette tapes of the soundtrack (yes, cassettes!)
A floating Cacodemon on a magnetic base (because why not)
A mini Cacodemon handheld that ALSO plays DOOM
Trading cards, a certificate of authenticity, and a mountain of nostalgia
Gameplay-wise, this edition includes:
DOOM
DOOM II
TNT: Evilution, Plutonia Experiment, Sigil I & II, No Rest for the Living, Legacy of Rust (a new episode!)
187 single-player maps and 43 deathmatch arenas
A brand-new 25-map deathmatch pack
And updated enhancements across the board
If you're not ready to sell your soul for this collector's box, there's also a $99 version (no box that plays DOOM, sadly) and a $29 version with just the games.
DOOM will never die. It just finds new ways to rip and tear... your wallet.
