The Roman Hubertradition of running the legendary game Doomon various gadgets and appliances that were not originally designed for gaming is long, but this one takes the cake.
Foone, a programmer who likes reverse-engineering things and typically works with ancient hardware and software, has managed to run a fully functional game of Doomon an electronic pregnancy test.
After posting a video of the classic video game running on the tester over the weekend, on Monday Foone upped the ante and released a video of him actually playing Doomon the tester, using a wireless keyboard.

The experience isn't very pleasant because the pregnancy test has a 128x32 pixel monochrome display (see close-up below), but, amazingly, it works.

You might be wondering, how the hell is this even possible on an extremely simple gadget such as a pregnancy tester? Well...it isn't. Foone is cheating a little; he had to replace the pregnancy tester's CPU and LCD, essentially turning it into a much more powerful computer (still extremely simple by today's standards, but compared to a pregnancy test or a computer from the early '80s, it's pretty powerful).

Still, the entire exercise is so cool that we had to share. What's next, Crysis? Fingers crossed.
