The Apple Pippin? Yeah, it runs Doom.
The Pippin was one of those many failures of ‘90s Apple before the iMac-led revival - a game console manufactured by Bandai running MacOS classic off of the game CD, with the aim of being a multimedia box like the wildly successful Phillips CD-i. It failed to reach those lofty heights and was snuffed with a terrifying immediacy with the return of Jobs and the end of the “Mac clones” program in 1997, just a year after launch.
This project hooks up a “fake mac-formatted” hard drive that the Pippin was able to recognize, allowing for the Mac port of Doom to be run.
Incidentally, the Mac port of Doom’s source code leaked out the other day. Interesting stuff!
Thanks to DeathEgg for hipping me to this!
