Recently, it was reported that the renowned first-person shooter game DOOM can now run on the Nintendo Alarmo alarm clock. This unique device surprisingly manages to host the classic game despite its limited memory.

Limited Support: The audio for the game is not supported due to technical constraints imposed by the alarm clock's hardware limitations.

You can find the necessary downloads here.

Quote from developer, Gary:

After my last post, it was pretty clear what everyone wanted to see on the Alarmo. So, here it is - Doom running on the Nintendo Alarmo! pic.twitter.com/WimckYPnXZ

What do you think about this unique accomplishment?

Tomorrow: "Nintendo sues independent developer for violating their IP on Alarmo"

Of course it does. Does it use electricity? Then it can run Doom. It will run Doom. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Doom is inevitable.

I don't imagine the memory is even sightly limited in DOOM terms!

Best use for it so far. Now get it to run Windows 95.
