Limited Run Games returns with a collector’s edition that boasts both nostalgia and extravagance. Beginning April 18, enthusiasts can reserve the Doom + Doom II: Will It Run? Edition for the delightfully fitting price of $666.66. Just 666 copies will be made available, with preorders ending on May 18.
This is not your typical re-release. The Will It Run? Edition is a tribute to the chaotic gaming era of the ’90s, filled with vintage charm and contemporary enhancements. It features both Doom and Doom II, now upgraded with the KEX engine for improved performance, cross-platform online co-op, and compatibility with numerous community mods. It also offers accessibility options like high-contrast mode and text-to-speech for multiplayer chat—putting many recent releases to shame.
However, what truly distinguishes this edition is its physical package. It arrives in a two-part collector’s box and contains:
– A levitating magnetic Cacodemon display
– A handheld Cacodemon that actually plays Doom
– A cassette tape soundtrack featuring the IDFKR remix
– A pack of trading cards
In total, the game collection features Doom, Doom II, Sigil, Sigil II, TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, Master Levels, Legacy of Rust, and a 25-map deathmatch pack. Multiplayer enthusiasts can partake in online cross-platform co-op and deathmatch modes for up to 16 players. The bundle also accommodates modern controller inputs, gyro aiming, and includes both original and remastered soundtracks.
