Doom 64 is a video game that first came out only on the Nintendo 64, but can now be played on today's video game consoles. It is a direct sequel to "Doom 2", making it the third part of the "Doom" story. This is ironic because the story of "Doom 3" is not related to "Doom" or "Doom 2", but it is a reboot, which means it is a new start to the Doom story. "Doom 64" has all the same weapons and monsters from "Doom 2", but it has a few more new types of monsters and a new weapon, the Unmaker. The weapons and monsters look a little different from the earlier games, but there are fewer differences than in "Doom 3". Other than the new graphics and new weapon, the gameplay was not much different from the earlier Doom games. It came out in 1997, but the game did not sell well because many popular FPS games came out that same year, including "GoldenEye 007", "Quake II", ', and '. However, the game does have a cult following and fans had made unlicensed mods on the PC and other video game consoles. Due to its popularity, Bethesda announced during Nintendo Direct 2019 that it would sell the game digitally on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam on November 22, 2019. However, it was delayed until March 20, 2020, so that it could be sold the same day as "Doom Eternal", the sequel to "Doom (2016)". It was the same game, but the lighting of the game was fixed, which was a major criticism of the N64 version of the game.

A reboot is a new start on a fictional universe that already exists. Some of the same themes may exist, but the story of the reboot is unrelated to earlier parts of the story. An example of this is the movie "Batman Begins". Even though it is set in the Batman universe, the story has no relation to any of the earlier Batman movies made by Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher. In video games, an example of this is "". Even though the game is still about a half-demon named Dante, like in the first game, the game's story has no relation to the earlier "Devil May Cry" games, and Dante in DmC has a very different look and personality from the earlier Dante. A reboot is different from a remake because a remake is a retelling of a story that already exists. For example, the James Bond movie "Never Say Never Again" is a remake of "Thunderball". "Never Say Never Again" is a retelling same story as "Thunderball", but it is only a little different. In video games, an example of a remake is "", which has the same story as the first "Metroid" game, but it has more detailed graphics, new Power Suit abilities, and an entirely new area that is playable after the part of the game where the first game ended.

Bey also spelled as Baig, Bayg, Beigh, Beig, Bek, Baeg or Beg is a Turkic title for a chieftain, and an honorific title traditionally applied to people with special lineages to the leaders or rulers of variously sized areas in the numerous Turkic kingdoms, emirates, sultanates and empires in Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East, such as the Ottomans, Timurids or the various khanates and emirates in Central Asia and the Eurasian Steppe. The feminine equivalent title was begum. The regions or provinces where "beys" ruled or which they administered were called "beylik", roughly meaning "governorate" and/or "region" (the equivalent of county in other parts of Europe). However the exact scope of power handed to the beks (alternative spelling to beys) varied with each country, thus there was no clear-cut system, rigidly applied to all countries defining all the possible power and prestige that came along with the title. In modern times, the word is still used formally as a social title for men. It is cited after the name and is used generally with first names and not with last names. The word entered English from Turkish "bey", itself derived from Old Turkic "beg", which - in the form "bäg" - has been mentioned as early as in the Orkhon inscriptions (8th century AD) and is usually translated as "tribal leader". The actual origin of the word is still disputed, though it is mostly agreed that it was a loan-word, in Old Turkic. This Turkic word is usually considered a borrowing from an Iranian language. However, German Turkologist Gerhard Doerfer assessed the derivation from Iranian as superficially attractive but quite uncertain, and pointed out the possibility that the word may be genuinely Turkic.
