This is the best summary I could come up with:

We’ve dug deep to find our top 30 wild ways folks can run Doom, from the best Inception-style game-within-game to the strangest contraptions capable of playing a 30-year-old title.

While Panic’s hand-cranked Playdate console only plays relatively games in black and white, folks on the company’s own dev forums saw the small GameBoy-like device as a challenge to overcome.

While the Flipper Zero proved to be a very controversial piece of tech despite its routine functionality, that didn’t stop the best and brightest from finding ways to plug Doom onto its barebones orange and black screen.

Sure, the enemy imps appear as dark silhouettes while the walls are simple black jail cell bars, but that doesn’t mean the gameplay isn’t the same fun FPS you know and love.

John Deere may be finally coming down off the anti-right-to-repair hill it appeared ready to die on, but that doesn’t mean we can’t mod Doom onto the company’s tractors to prove a point.

Well, to answer the question, it took over 100 pounds of boiled russet potatoes slowly rotting over a week to finally play ID Software’s famed game.
