Every once in a while, HN will have a post on the front page about someone running Doom on an obscure device/system, like this oscilloscope[0] for example.
What's so special about Doom to cause this trend? I get that it's a great game and a classic, but that alone doesn't seem enough to me to get people hack it into all sorts of devices.
Edit: I should add that this thread[1] is what prompted my question
