Among many other titles, divisions of this company were responsible for creating the official ports of Doom to the and  platforms. They managed to give the PlayStation Doom and Final Doom ports their own identity, though the use of a completely different soundtrack composed by Aubrey Hodges and a darker, gloomier atmosphere accented by sharp colored lighting. The Nintendo 64 port was even more ambitious, with all-new textures, redesigned sprites in a different artistic style, and completely new levels proposed as a sequel and conclusion to the events of Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom.
