I see that as of the time of this comment, he hasn't run Doom on it.

Yet?

3kb of RAM and 24kb of flash is a bit tight for Doom unfortunately. It has been ported to another Cortex-M0+ microcontroller, the RP2040, but that has 264kb of RAM plus megabytes of flash and the game still barely fits.

So you’d just need about 100 vapes. If you have a friend who uses them, should not take long to collect.

You can play Doom on an Atari 2600: https://forums.atariage.com/topic/323152-doom-the-2600-demak...

Just need to outboard a little extra RAM.

I was just thinking about that slashdot meme the other day. Like Beowulf clusters were the dream! Imagine one! I wanted one! Everybody did!

And now you can spin that shit up for pennies an hour and then throw it all away when you are done.

Who would have seen that coming back in, what, 1998…
