If the hardware has the HTC HD 2 with the ability to run almost any operating system, the software has the Doom game with the ability to run on almost any device or software.
People have successfully installed and played the game on refrigerators, computers (powered by potatoes), pregnancy tests, MacBook touch bars, and even running Doom within Doom.
Recently, an internet user added another unexpected piece of software to the list of hardware and software that can run Doom: Notepad.
YouTuber Samperson (Sam Chiet) was able to run Doom in Notepad using ASCII graphics as the render engine at 60fps. According to him, the video above is not accelerated, nor did he edit anything in Notepad, Doom simply runs in this editor natively. He also plans to release Notepad Doom to everyone in the next few days.
Chiet is a game developer and experimental creator who loves to tinker with old systems and find ways to breathe new life into them.
In September, he detailed his plan to revive Xbox's defunct Kinect technology, a motion-capture sensor from Microsoft that was included in the Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles.
Although Microsoft invested heavily in Kinect, it was not reliable enough and there were not enough games that supported it. This forced Microsoft to stop producing the device. Today, the sensors that were used in Kinect can be found in Microsoft HoloLens devices.
