It was just a matter of time, but Twitter user Foone managed to get Doom running on a digital pregnancy test.
I tried zooming in and turning up the in-game gamma a bit, so you can see what’s going on slightly better.

Although to be clear, it’s not running on any of the pregnancy test’s actual hardware. Foone swapped out the display and microcontroller so it’s really just Doom running inside a pregnancy test shell. It’s still a neat project though because of the unique form factor. Plus, who doesn’t want to play video games on a device that people pee on? I know I never pick up my Nintendo Switch without peeing on it first. It’s just how gaming is supposed to be.
The existing CPU can’t be reprogrammed and the existing LCD can only show 4 things, so I had to replace both to make any changes.
And the current version doesn’t even fit into the shell!
