DOOM Now Playable on Apple Devices via Lightning/HDMI Adapter

The DOOM community's passion for running the iconic game on unconventional platforms has led to yet another impressive feat. NyanSatan, a tech enthusiast, successfully executed DOOM on Apple's Lightning/HDMI adapter. This adapter, equipped with iOS-based firmware and a processor running at up to 168 MHz, became the latest platform to host the classic shooter. To achieve this, NyanSatan accessed the adapter's firmware using a MacBook, given the adapter's lack of internal memory.

In other exciting DOOM news, the upcoming iteration, DOOM: The Dark Ages, promises to be more accessible and customizable than any previous id Software title. Players will have the ability to adjust the aggression levels of demons within the game's settings, catering to a broader audience. Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasized the studio's commitment to accessibility, allowing players to tweak enemy damage, difficulty, projectile speed, and the amount of damage they receive. Further customization options include adjusting the game's tempo, level of aggression, and parry timing.

Stratton also reassured fans that understanding the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal does not require prior experience with DOOM: The Dark Ages. This approach ensures that both new and returning players can fully engage with the game's storyline without feeling left behind.
