There have been tons of grand celebrations aroundDoom’s30th Birthday, but one fan has decided to scour the internet and find every single way you could play the classicfirst-person shooter.

There’s anything from ultrasound scanners and thermostats to a McDonald’s Tetris McNugget and theResident Evil 4chainsaw controller. Whilethe chainsaw controller may not be the best way to experienceDoomor any gamefor that matter, it is certainly better than some of the other, stranger options.
