Installing Doom on a range of unusual hardware devices has become a fun challenge for programmers, and we've seen the game running on everything...

    Interesting, but it’s not clear how controller input is achieved. No one is using the keyboard. Perhaps a bluetooth joystick?

      Probably not achieved at all. Doom will just demo automatically.

        That doesn’t look like a demo given the length

          It’s one of the standard demos that runs every time you boot the game.

      They probably don’t need to move beyond menu because if you leave it running long enough a demo begins automatically. In-game credits at the end suggest that it’s a demo but I haven’t played Doom in ages.

        Thanks, hadn’t realised that’s what the demo looked like. Assumed it would be short and loop.

      Are you joking? Doom was built for a keyboard and mouse and most people believe it’s the superior way to play FPS games. Although I’m not sure how any controller interfaces with a dongle.

        Controller as in “the thing that controls”, not a gamepad.

        mouse

        Quite true. But also no mouselook. It was good for turning and shooting though. Romero also endorsed this thing:
