Doom ported to run on SQL

Original: We ported the original Doom to SQL

Developers at CedarDB have ported the original 1993 Doom to SQL, running the game's logic inside database queries. The project, detailed on the CedarDB blog, is the latest in a long tradition of running Doom on unconventional platforms, and it has drawn amused attention from programmers impressed by the technical feat of executing a game engine through a database engine.

Why now: It is a novel and technically impressive addition to the internet's beloved tradition of porting Doom to unusual platforms.
