First published in 1993 Doom runs on every platform imaginable: whether on cameras, a microwave, in Minecraft or in Notepad. Soon you’ll even be able to play the shooter classic on one mowing machine play, and it’s actually highly official.
Apparently there are a few big Doom fans working at the Swedish company Husqvarna, which is why the oldie will be released in just a few weeks Update for your own robotic lawnmowers. This is what it should be about no early April Fool’s joke act even though the update will only be released then.
