Yea, pretty damn hilarious!  I think that DOOM has officially now been ported to every possible platform, ever.

Heh, that's pretty funny.  What kind of CPU is in one of those printers anyway?

I'm guessing ARM? Could be wrong though, it just goes to show what lengths people go to play Doom on their favorite platform.
Edit: Not nearly as impressive as above, but someone decided their ATM machine needs to play Doom as well.

Double Edit: There is a blog about if X platform can run Doom.

I wonder how Doom would run on the PC-FX?

I have a scanner/printer that could do this...but there is no way way I'd do it.

"Shhh, I know there's a hidden stash of ammo & health somewhere..."

That's pretty cool.  So, am I going to get malware/viruses on my printer if I hook it up to the Internet?  Soon, people are going to sell anti-virus software for printers.  LOL.  But I wouldn't mind a virus like Bonk's Adventure on my printer.  Hehe.  That would be even better than Doom.
