The gaming world has long shown its love for the iconic first-person shooter,DOOM, a title that has stood the test of time since its initial release in 1993. The game, known for its exhilarating gameplay, robust gun mechanics, and a narrative that combines science fiction with horror, has captured the hearts of gamers across generations.
As time has passed, the game has thrived on consoles and PCs but it has also sparked an interesting trend among tech enthusiasts and gamers: the quest to playDOOMon the most unconventional devices imaginable. It’s a testament to the creativity and technical prowess of the gaming community, as players have successfully run the game on everything from calculators and smart fridges to digital watches.
Inspiration Running Wild: PlayingDOOMon Rat Brain Cells
In recent years, the efforts to runDOOMon bizarre platforms have gone to a ludicrous length. One of the most notable experiments involved a calculator powered by 700 potatoes, showcasing the lengths to which gamers are willing to go to experiment. This project turned a standard scientific calculator into a gaming machine, demonstrating the creativity and resourcefulness of the gaming community.

However, this was just the tip of the iceberg. The community is now taking a giant leap by attempting to runDOOMusing rat brain cells. One Researcher/gamer is exploring the potential of biological computing, where neurons (taken from rats) will be tasked with functioning as processors. The experiment involves growing rat neurons in a jar and connecting them to a system that allows them to interact with software that runsDOOM.
While this may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, it is a real experiment undertaken by a YouTuber known asThe Thought Emporium. Such experiments challenge our conventional understanding of what it means to “play” a game,opening up a whole new door for both gamingand neuroscience.

For many, these experiments might seem like mere entertainment: fun videos to watch or quirky challenges to attempt. However, utilizing biological materials like bacteria or neurons as processors provides groundbreaking insights into the future of computing.
Just imagine a world where organic components work alongside traditional silicon chips to perform complex computations, potentially leading to advancements a person can only dream of today.
The Legacy ofDOOMBurns Bright
The ongoing trend of running the game on unconventional devices not only reflects players’ love forDOOMbut also highlights their prowess and desire to challenge the limits of technology. Each experiment serves as a testament to the innovation and ingenuity of the gaming community.
With every new platform, whether it be a 700 potato-powered calculator or a cutting-edge biological system using rat brain cells, gamers have continued to redefine the boundaries of what’s possible when creativity meets technology.
