In a quirky take on technology, Doom has been played on an Anker Prime charging station.
Overview
The joke of playing Doom on unconventional devices continues, but this latest attempt has shown to be relatively effective. In the video shared by Aaron Christophel, the creator demonstrates that the charging station can run Doom at a playable frame rate, albeit with some awkward controls.
The hardware in question features 8 MB of SDRAM and 16 MB of flash storage, with an LCD screen, showcasing a playful intersection of past and present technology. Notably, viewers can see how the characters can be controlled through various actions on the charging device.
If you are curious about the mechanics, the station features a dial that not only rotates but can also be pressed - a unique way to mimic gaming controls. As many enthusiasts have previously attempted improbable setups, Christophel’s effort falls right in line with numerous historical efforts to run Doom on bizarre platforms.
It’s amusing to think that a popular charging station could also serve as a gaming console, even if in a limited capacity.
