The original DOOM has once again surprised fans by appearing on an unexpected platform — this time, the game was launched on the Life Fitness SE3 elliptical trainer. An enthusiast under the nickname grubbyplaya on Reddit shared an unusual experiment, during which he managed to install the iconic shooter on a touchscreen trainer running Android 5.
The initial attempt to install DOOM via console commands was unsuccessful, but the user found an alternative method by replacing the official firmware update with a modified version of the game. The main feature of this method of playing is the need for constant movement — the system automatically turns off after 10 seconds of inactivity, forcing the player to continuously train. An additional limitation was the inability to simultaneously control movement and shooting due to the limitations of the touchscreen.
Despite the technical difficulties, this experiment not only demonstrates further proof of the versatility of DOOM, but also offers a potentially new approach to motivation during training, combining physical activity with classic gameplay. Perhaps this non-standard way of passing will add a new wave of popularity to the game among fans of fitness and retro gaming.
