The DOOM franchise's adaptability continues to amaze, with recent experiments pushing its boundaries. A tech enthusiast, NyanSatan, successfully ran the original DOOM on Apple's Lightning/HDMI adapter.
This adapter, as NyanSatan revealed, utilizes iOS-based firmware and a processor clocked at up to 168 MHz. The process involved accessing the adapter's firmware and executing the game, leveraging a MacBook for firmware transfer due to the adapter's lack of internal memory.
Meanwhile, news on a new DOOM iteration surfaces: DOOM: The Dark Ages. This game prioritizes accessibility, offering players extensive customization options. Players can adjust demon aggression, enemy damage, difficulty, projectile speed, damage taken, and even the game's overall pace and parry timing.
Marty Stratton, executive producer, emphasized the game's accessibility focus. He also confirmed that prior DOOM experience isn't necessary to understand the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages or DOOM: Eternal.
