Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

I was reading about Tetris in a PDF 4 days ago, and wondered if Doom would be possible.

At this rate I should be playing Mario 64 in a PDF this weekend

At this point it is safe to say that doom is the most cross platform software to ever exist.

Pretty sure curl is the actual winner here

Three things are certain in life: Death, Taxes, and Doom running on things you didn't think could run Doom.

At this point, Skyrim and Doom are both competing with each other to port into the most preposterous items.

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.

Doom running on bacteria

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

Gamer equivalent of getting Linux to run on a toaster.

But can it run Crysis?
