DOOM launched on Apple's Lightning/HDMI adapter

The DOOM franchise's adaptability continues to amaze, with recent experiments pushing the game's boundaries. A tech enthusiast, NyanSatan, successfully ran the classic DOOM on Apple's Lightning/HDMI adapter.

The adapter, as NyanSatan explains, utilizes iOS-based firmware and a processor clocked at up to 168 MHz. The process involved accessing the adapter's firmware and then executing the game. A MacBook was used to facilitate firmware transfer, given the adapter's lack of internal memory.

Meanwhile, news about a new DOOM iteration surfaced. DOOM: The Dark Ages will offer players unprecedented control over the game's difficulty. A key development goal is accessibility, allowing players to adjust various aspects of the gameplay experience. This includes modifying demon aggression, enemy damage, projectile speed, damage received, and even the overall game tempo and parry timing.

Marty Stratton, executive producer, confirmed the focus on accessibility. He also emphasized that prior knowledge of DOOM: The Dark Ages isn't required to understand its storyline or that of DOOM: Eternal.
