The programmer in question goes by the name of Foone Turing (@Foone) and just so we’re absolutely clear, Foone’s attempts were not without its own set of trials and tribulations. In an effort to also be fair, Foone had pretty much gutted the entire pregnancy kit before ultimately getting the test kit to properly run Doom. Foone’s project kicked off with simple goals, such as getting the test kit to play Rick Astley videos and a clip from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. From there, Foone decided to take it up a notch and that’s when he decided to try and get Doom running, and that’s when things started getting difficult.
Well, now it is. It’s Pregnancy Test Doom! pic.twitter.com/Nrjyq07EVv — foone (@Foone) September 7, 2020 As mentioned earlier, Foone resorted to some rather radical measures in order to achieve his dream; this meant replacing the device’s CPU, and switching out the default LCD screen for an OLED display. Ultimately, Foone reached his goal and his dream of being able to run Doom in all of its 128 x 32 pixels glory was finally a reality. Naturally, Foone’s tinker-happy project was merely a hobbyist’s achievement. On that note, if you want to see more of this sort of stuff, you can always follow the man via his official Twitter account, and maybe toss him a ringgit or two to help fund his quirky projects.
