When DOOM was released in 1993, it required an IBM or compatible 386 computer, 4 MB of RAM, and 24 MB of hard disk drive space. The family PC you kept in the fabled computer room may not have been able to run it. Today, though, you can run DOOM on your phone, through your internet browser, on an Apple MacBook TouchBar, a TI graphing calculator, a pregnancy test, an ATM, and almost anything else you can imagine.
Since DOOM’s debut, programmers and designers have been obsessed with modifying the revolutionary first-person shooter and porting it to new platforms. In recent years, those ports have become far more ambitious and far more… weird.
