The $666 Doom Edition: A Sinister Plot or Just a Gamer’s Dream?

Limited Run Games releases a $666 edition of Doom and Doom II, featuring a game box that plays Doom, among other devilishly themed extras.

Limited Run Games just dropped a bombshell that feels like it was cooked up in some dimly lit, smoke-filled boardroom—a $666 edition of Doom and Doom II. But here’s the kicker: the box itself plays the game. Yeah, you heard that right. Plug in a USB controller, and boom, you’re knee-deep in demon guts. Coincidence? Or is someone playing 4D chess with us?

This devilishly numbered edition (limited to 666 copies, because why not?) is stuffed with goodies that’d make any cult movie fan drool. We’re talking a cassette soundtrack (because retro is in), a fancy certificate to prove it’s legit, and some trading cards. But the real showstopper? A three-inch Cacodemon figure that hooks up to a five-inch base, plus a handheld Cacodemon that also runs Doom. Subtle, guys. Real subtle.

You can grab this bad boy for Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC—if you’ve got the guts (and the cash). For those who think $666 is a bit steep, there’s the Big Box Edition at a cool $100 or the Standard Edition for $30. Same games, less Satanic bling.

But wait, there’s more. These aren’t your grandma’s ports. They’ve been souped up with enhanced visuals, buttery 60 FPS, 16:9 support, and gyroscopic aiming (because why not?). Plus, there’s new maps, community mods, and a fresh episode called Legacy of Rust, cooked up by id, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames. Feels like they’re hinting at something… apocalyptic.

And let’s not overlook the fact that Doom runs on everything from pregnancy tests to rat brains. Now, a game box. Is this a tribute to its absurd versatility, or are they just messing with us at this point? Only time will tell.
