Someone figured out how to play Doom on a pregnancy test

Doom is known as the game that can be played on just about anything. Watches, phones, calculators, and other weird stuff. It can pretty much work on anything that has a screen and even things that don’t really have “screens”.

Twitter user Foone got noticed on Twitter after getting a video of Doom to display on a pregnancy test… but it wasn’t playable. After enough curiosity, they now have Doom playable on a pregnancy test stick. Yes, the little thing you pee on to see if you have to sacrifice the next 18+ years of your life can now be used to kill demons.

So, here’s how they did it. They bought an Equate digital pregnancy test and replaced the screen with a small 128×32 pixel monochrome display. They also had to replace the microcontroller as the CPU can’t be reprogrammed.

“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! (although I’m certain it will when complete)” said Foone in a Twitter post before getting Doom up and running.

After enough tinkering, Doom is now playable with a keyboard. It’s not using any of the actual pieces within the pregnancy test to run it but it is literally *on* a pregnancy test stick. Sadly, you can’t pee on it to play Doom. That said, Foone is working to try and get a keyboard that works by… peeing on a pregnancy stick. So, that’s neat I guess.
