It's my favorite version of Doom. For the record; I love all of the Doom games, even the new ones. But Doom 64 is very special to me due to it's atmosphere and how immersive it is. Some fans even go as far as to call it 'the real Doom 3' and I can agree there. Doom 64 has the best version of Hell I have ever seen in a video game. The music and sound effects are a lot scarier, along with better textures, colored lighting and the slight changes to the weapons that make them feel more powerful.
D64 also has the best level design of the series in my opinion. It's crazy to think that a few guys from Midway could make levels that stand up to Romero, Petersen and McGee who all made spectacular levels in the original games. D64 has more of a puzzle element to it and plays into the atmosphere of the levels. It's also great to have a Doom game that the majority of the levels are based in hell opposed to all the tech base stuff from the other games.
I'm glad that in the past year or so, I have noticed more people are looking at Doom 64 and giving it a try. The game was often forgotten and overlooked for being an N64 exclusive, but it's aged spectacularly.
Doom 64.
