    Skyrim has nothing on Doom. The crazy Skyrim “ports” aren’t ports at all but just the opening video.

    Doom is on everything with a screen and a CPU.

        Most of those are legit, but I do take issue with the pregnancy test one. Replacing the original electronics with entirely new hardware doesn’t really count. A pregnancy test screen only has 3 or 4 LCD segments.

        The smart bulb one at least partially counts, since it’s using the original processor from the bulb just with a display and buttons added.

          Yeah, in order for it to count as “running doom”, it should be required for the actual hardware to run the game’s code.

          If you’re just using whichever device to display it, “bad apple” should be the benchmark.

        That one is not actually running doom on bacteria. That is only using bacteria as some sort of screen.
