Someone even made it run on [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31295183 Archive of Our Own]] (sort of, have fun trying to control the character). It reached its zenith when you can actually play Doom as a GameWithinAGame in ''VideoGame/DoomEternal''. Yes, you can even play Doom on Doom. Later, an official collaboration with [[https://youtu.be/dXkOdvDfPFU?si=6pw5Z54dQksvpnF6 Husqvarna]] allows you to play doom for a limited time on their Automower. The trend started as far as in TheNineties, with ''Film/GrossePointeBlank'' showing a character playing Doom on the arcade machine, even though it hasn't been ported there (yet). [[/note]]
