An edition marked by originality and tribute

DOOM Limited Edition Limited Run

The name "Will It Run Edition" is no coincidence. It refers to the popular meme that has circulated for years in the gaming and tech community: "Can it run DOOM?" This meme alludes to the fact that the original DOOM, released in 1993, has been adapted and run on all sorts of unusual devices, from calculators and refrigerators to pregnancy tests. Now, this edition takes that joke to the next level by literally allowing you to run DOOM on the collectible box.
