The Doom 64 version is very similar to the 1993 version. The BFG in Doom 3 has a profile of a weird space potato: https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/BFG9000/Doom_3?file=BFG9000-BP.jpg The ingame model is more like a rectantular box, but with an updated case: https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/BFG9000/Doom_3?file=Bfg3 In Doom 2016 is has a better styling, with an actual grip, it now actually looks like a gun! In Doom Eternal it looks great, if a bit generic, but not bad. The BFG does exist in Quake II and Quake 3 Arena, but the design is just terrible. So while I like your enthusiasm, I don’t share your oppinion on the design of the BFG series.
