The Shores of Bell — Doom is now playable on Nintendo's $99 alarm clock

Doom running on Nintendo Alarmo with top dial controls.

Nintendo's Alarmo alarm clock was hacked and made to run the shareware version of Doom by Twitter user GaryOderNichts, who uploaded a gameplay video of the completed job to a Twitter thread earlier this week.

Within the thread, Gary details that there is currently no audio support and that the Doom shareware .wad needs to be compressed and then uncompressed to the memory on boot to circumvent USB loader memory size restrictions. Gary also claims you shouldn't need to modify your Alarmo if you want to test this for yourself—the project files you need are all hosted on GitHub.
