Programmers run original Doom entirely inside SQL

Original: We ported the original Doom to SQL

Developers have ported the original 1993 video game Doom to SQL, making it playable through database queries. The project, documented in a blog post, is the latest in a long tradition of getting Doom to run on unlikely platforms. Readers are reacting with a mix of amusement and admiration for the technical ingenuity involved.

Why now: Running Doom on ever more improbable platforms is a beloved programmer challenge, and a full SQL port is a striking new entry.
