Doom — the 1993 shooter that became the internet's universal test for "can this thing compute?" — has run on lawnmowers, printers, and gut bacteria. The bacteria managed, but a full playthrough would take 600 years.
New entry: MS Paint. Every frame is pasted onto the canvas as a genuine document edit, the original shareware runs at up to
35 FPS, sound and music included. The author is Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure — the man running planetary cloud infrastructure who, in his spare time, taught Paint to run a thirty-year-old shooter, per Tom's Hardware.Corporate boredom at Microsoft seems to be greatly exaggerated.
