Turn off the internet, Doom can be played on a pregnancy test!


 A new achievement has happened - Doom has been successfully launched on another screen device: a pregnancy test.

There is a trick that the original 1993 Doom can run on any device that has a screen. We have seen Doom play on digital cameras, ATMs, microwave ovens, calculators, printers, smart refrigerators… But these days humanity has gone a step further. Doom has been launched, no more and no less than on a pregnancy test.

That achievement is the work of programmer Foone Turing, who first tested the playback capabilities of the video on a monochrome screen with a resolution of 183 × 32, and then tackled the ultimate task, connecting an external game control device to play Doom on a tiny screen.

Of course, no one should play Doom this way, but for the sake of science, it’s important to have confirmation that Doom is playable and on a pregnancy test. Not the cheap one - let's understand each other, but it's possible.
