However, mobile phones sound normal cause mobile gaming is a huge industry now, and mobile phone games are way more advanced than the 30-year-old DOOM. But the weird platforms where fans are trying to run this classic are like on a Digital Camera to a calculator. But now fans are trying to run the game on a LEGO brick.

How to run DOOM on a LEGO Brick?

James Brown, a graphics programmer from New Zealand, 3D-printed a special LEGO brick that might have the tiniest monitor in the world in it. He later wired that LEGO brick to a computer and streamed the game from that PC.

Even Brown revealed to Kotaku, “There was no way it was going to run it properly. The options seemed to be: 1) Write a raycasting game with as much Doom flavor as possible, 2) Stick a wire in it and stream video to it, or 3) Put a more powerful processor in there.

The New Zeland programmer shares his reason for streaming DDOm on a brick, “One probably wouldn’t be accepted as fitting the meme. Two didn’t seem a very interesting challenge. Three was going to take a bit longer to design. But since two was so easy, someone was going to do it eventually, and I decided I’d rather it were me.”

Now thanks to Brown, we have a DOOM on a LEGO. However, it might be an exciting idea for a DOOM-based LEGO game. Many video games are LEGO-themed, and a one with a Doom Slayer wouldn’t be bad. Moreover, the game’s creator John Romero revealed a SIgil 2 is under development.
