We heard you likeDoom
There’s a fascination online with getting classic 1993 FPSDoomrunning on just about anything. On other consoles, on hardware, on anything that can handle and output data. And now, we’ve gone one layer deeper, as one modder has putDoominsideDoom.
YouTube modder kgswsuploaded a videotitled “you may runDoominside (DOS)Doom, for real.” earlier this week. (Thanks,PCGamesN.) In it, they show the process of using code injection inside the DOS version ofDoom.
Now, game and code injection issomething they’ve toyed withbefore now. But the ultimate execution that leads toDoomrunning insideDoomis impressive to see.
After a lengthy process, kgsws is able to make a wall as a designatedDoom-space. Here, they can watch the attract mode play out, or take over the controls and play themselves.
Eventually, kgsws builds even more. There’s a theater for theDoom-ception, but also some additional switches to toggle in-game effects. The modder even putsHeretic, another classic retro shooter, insideDoom.
The ultimateDoom-ception
The quest to makeDoomplayable on just about anything and everything is, at times, awe-inspiring. It’s one thing to getDoomrunning on a machine meant to play games, like aGame and Watchor something.
But then you have the wilder stuff. People puttingDoomin theirbrand-new Porsche.Doominside ofTwitter, proving the site truly is a hellscape after all. OrDoominside a pregnancy test, just because wecan.
At this point, what’s left to getDoomrunning on? I don’t know, and in some ways I’m terrified to find out. ButDoomtruly is eternal, it seems. Anyways, if you want to playDoommore conventionally, theports for modern consolessound like they’ve got some nice quality-of-life improvements and features.
