Can it run Doom?

Eine Community zum Diskutieren obskurer Doom-Ports und -Plattformen.

Wikipedia [en]: "Doom is a 1993 first-person shooter game developed and published by id Software for MS-DOS. It is the first installment in the Doom franchise. [...] The source code for Doom was released under a non-commercial license in 1997, and freely released under the GNU General Public License in 1999. Due to the release of its source code, Doom has been unofficially ported to numerous platforms. These ports include esoteric devices such as smart thermostats, pianos, and Doom itself, which led to variations of a long-running meme, "Can it run Doom?" and "It runs Doom".

I know I saw this news 10+ years ago for Canon DSLRs because that's when I bought my Nikon and read the hacks for Magic that ran Doom on Canons. Googling showed this news from 2 years ago and 5 years ago.

It's kind of weird how every few years this same "Doom on a Canon DSLR" news gets reported.
