If there are certifications that allow devices to be classified according to their resistance to water, dust, and splashes, in the geek world there is another type of certification that elevates any device to the category of special gadget. And yes, we're talking run Doom.
DOOM on things, a very special hobby
In addition to being the most iconic shooter of the golden age of gaming and considered the father of modern FPS, DOOM has also become a hobby that enthusiasts spend time with. The reason is none other than the possibility of being able to install the game on a thousand and one platforms, since thanks to the imagination and work of many developers, in addition to playing on the PC or on any type of console, the mythical title of id Software has crept into devices you never would have imagined.
DOOM in a camera
An extremely striking example is that of this Sony A6000. Sony's mirrorless camera allows the installation of a custom firmware with which to be able to opt for many more extra functions in the camera, and that is exactly what has allowed this user to install a version of DOOM for Android that he can run on his Photo camera.

A hellish pregnancy test
One of the most talked about exploits in recent months is this digital pregnancy test modified specifically to run DOOM. Having a small processor and a tiny monochrome LCD screen has been enough for someone to be able to run DOOM without problems.

Playing from an iPod
Another of the best-known modifications was that of the iPod. Apple's music player was capable of running DOOM in an extraordinary way by installing the necessary files for it. In the case of the iPod mini, the image was displayed in grayscale, but with the advent of the iPod with a color screen, DOOM looked better than ever.
Inside the world of Minecraft
One of the wonders of Minecraft is that you can create an amazing world with complete freedom, and as expected, this also included the ability to play DOOM in it. That's what this user did, who decided to use the Virtual Box plug-in for Minecraft and run his favorite game on it.

This is possibly one of the weirdest installs we've seen since who came up with the idea to install DOOM on a treadmill?
pure math
But if there is a modification remembered by many, it is that of the calculator. Texas Instruments' powerful calculators have allowed the game to be played in a thousand ways, so don't be surprised if one day you run into one that does.
DOOM in the Thermomix
[OC] Made a Thermomix clone run Doom with a friend from itrunsdoom
Thanks to the incorporation of a large touch screen and its internal processor, DOOM could also be installed in a Monsieur Cuisine de SilverCrest kitchen robot, a clone of the Thermomix TM6 that, as you can see, performs quite well on the first level.
DOOM within DOOM
The perfect paradox. DOOM within DOOM was made possible by DOOM Eternal. Bethesda's latest installment included the ability to play the original DOOM as long as the player entered the secret codes that unlocked the files.
