Yeah, remember World Cubes? The digital blocks with digital dudes inside? Yeah, somehow, those ancient toys can run “DOOM”. One user named “queenwhiskey” made a post asking how many World Cubes it would take to run the game. User “jamisunne” replied with a photo of twelve. Does it run? Most likely. Is it playable? Not at half a screen.
The Domino’s App

It’s interesting to see if other software programs can run “DOOM” just with their own coding and use of different programming engines. Imgur user “dylanpdx” somehow found a way to use the Domino’s Pizza app to run “DOOM”. Unfortunately, it isn’t exactly playable. Loading takes forever, and the app crashes after a very short moment.
Chandler’s Laptop
Remember the episode of “Friends” where Chandler gets a new laptop and becomes obsessed with it? Surely, something that ancient can’t run “DOOM”. On the contrary, it does. Redditor “The-Illusive-Guy” managed to find the same exact laptop and fixed it up. And it does run “DOOM”, albeit barely above the recommended specs.

So…it’s possible!
A Vape Pen

We can imagine the UAC and Hell’s domain being clouded in smoke, but not in this way. Redditor “JustBobbysr” somehow programmed “DOOM” into their vape pen. Doesn’t exactly seem like an ideal way to play it, though. How can you see past the HUD??

A Bluetooth LE Dongle

A Price Scanner
Top 10 AAA Games That Went Free to Play
Okay, so maybe the office phone isn’t the most inconspicuous way to play “DOOM” at work. So, if you got a price scanner, this might be your best method. I mean, it isn’t the most visually appealing version, but you’ll fly under the boss’s radar if you can make it look like you’re working.
A Text-Based Terminal
Top 20 Worst Movies Based on Video Games
Speaking of visually unappealing screens, a text-based terminal isn’t an ideal way to run just about any program. But if you want another layer of challenge, get yourself a text-based terminal and get “DOOM” installed on it like Redditor “wojtek-graj” did. Surprisingly, it works rather well…except for dark areas.
A Pregnancy Test

In 2016, one Jared Triptow hacked a LeapFrog Ultra and installed “DOOM”, complete with cheat codes and custom WAD support.
Crabs
Yeah, you could totally play “DOOM” with live crabs. But this method lives on in theory only. See, one professor Ethan Mollick brought to light a 2011 study that discovered how soldier crabs could be used to create organic logic gates, However, you would need eighty crabs to operate one logic gate. After some number-crunching, Twitter user “NORMALHOROSCOPES” pointed out you would need 16,039,018,500 soldier crabs to run “DOOM”. Now…who’s gonna be the first to pull it off?
