This contributes to the timelessness of Doom.

Doom pretty much has been ported to everything with a CPU, like Linux. Heck, you can even search for JSDoom and get a few results. There's even a RISC-V port (RISC-V emulator included: https://github.com/lcq2/risc-666)

It will be interesting if it progresses past simply drawing the level, e.g. if you can actually play it.

Then Doom won't even need a CPU to exist.



Meh. I can play Minizork and Curses (version 3) on a:

- Monochrome GameBoy and compatibles.

- PDAs, nearly all of them.

- That intelligent pen which parsed everything you wrote.

- KA10 with Tops20 with dfrotz.

- GBA/NDS/PSP/Android/ioS... anything portable.

- Everything SIMH emulates, or nearly everything.

- All of the 8/16/32 bit minicomputers.

- Any OS with a gopher client. Even Nethack/Telnet may work with a dumb wrapper.

- A PostScript printer with a crafted input.

- Over telnet/ssh/irc... name a text protocol and you will be able to play it.
