Seems like Doom is on anything with a screen these days. As proof here’s a video of the game running on Texas Instrument’s TI-Nspire calculator!

A few tech savvy geeks at Omnimaga have figured out how to get id’s popular shooter to run on their graphing calculators. It’s better than what I had when I was in school. The only game I could play on my calculator was “I can write boobs upside-down.” At least that never got old.

The game is in Beta right now, but check out a demo of the game in action below.

writing dirty words on a calculator is a valuable skill.

I've never been happier that I bought an nspire this past summer. Really works. :D

Best way to kill time in Math class.

For those of you who hate problems, here's your solution.

I was wondering when those jokes about games running on a TI-84 calculator would become true.
by Kris Friday, February 18, 2011 at 08:14 PM

At least you had a calculator Ben...I couldn't even spell boobs upside down on the Abacus back in my school days. NVM, I don't expect most people on here to even know what an Abacus is...Google it.

Ben, why do you have to write it upside down? It's 80085. You're even weirder than I thought...

I played DOOM on a NES emulator on a friend's PSP once. Along with Home Improvement(I only played it because I heard you guys were going to do a Replay of it).
by Chucktanium Friday, February 18, 2011 at 08:44 PM

And yet, every year there's people saying "this game LITERALLY pushes the console to the limit of it's potential!"
by TexasCries Friday, February 18, 2011 at 08:53 PM

Wish I still had this game

I'd love to just whip this out in a Math class. LOL

I actually used to have Doom on my calculator when I was in high school.
