    My 12 y/o daughter recently ran into a "does it run DOOM" reference in media (I think a graphic novel-- not sure) and asked me about it. I got to explain the phenomenon and show her some examples (she found the pregnancy test to be particularly amusing). I'll have to show her this one.

      The pregnancy test had altered innards. So it was fake.

        Sadness for that, and for my inability to read in-depth.

      What’s the graphic novel?

        I don't know. I'll ask her. She burns thru them and it may have already been returned to the library.

    ’ve been following Adrian's Afga system series, great dive into the unknown.

    Realistically, I would've stopped the moment BASIC worked, called it "good enough," and then gotten distracted attempting to write a Forth for it.

      Writing a Forth for hardware that originally ran PostScript would have been an interesting decision.

    I am faintly disappointed that "running Doom" did not involve printing out a series of frames at a hilariously low effective framerate, then taking the pile and using it as a flipbook.

    I mean, sure, major props for kludging your own video generator in there, but...

    Agfa: now there's a name you don't see any more.

      There were so many companies in that sector back in the eighties and nineties. It seemed like every conglomerate had a division making printers.
