TI-Nspire calculator: yes, it plays Doom

[wraggster]

Sure, folks have ported games over to the good ol' number cruncher for ages, but getting a fully rendered classic like Doom (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Doom/) to run on a calculator is a different feat altogether. The folks over at omnimaga have successfully moved a beta version of nDoom (a reworked version of the original id Software's FPS) over to a Texas Instruments (http://www.engadget.com/tag/TexusInstruments/) TI-Nspire (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Nspire/) and -- with all things considered -- the game runs shockingly smooth. As of right now, the only proof of concept is the video you see above, with a tragic crash bringing all things dangerous to a dismal halt. We're looking forward to a fully working version of nDoom because, you know, video games (http://www.engadget.com/tag/@gaming) and calculators (http://www.engadget.com/tag/calculators/) are two things close to our nerdy hearts.
