Video games and LEGO have often gone together well in the form of licensed titles and promotional building sets, but one talented gamer has taken things to the next level by creating a single LEGO piece that can play DOOM. Legendary studio id Software released the original DOOM in 1993, where it quickly cemented its place in gaming history as a pioneer of the budding FPS genre. It would spawn several sequels and countless imitators in the decades since it first blasted onto PCs, and the DOOM series itself continues to this day with 2020’s DOOM Eternal.
The DOOM franchise was also instrumental in building the PC modding community, with fans altering both the original game and 1994’s DOOM II in a variety of interesting ways. These include running the original DOOM in a profile (complete with an in-universe explanation for the change in perspective), reworking DOOM II into a third-person brawler, and even transforming the series's core premise from gunning down demons within the corridors of Mars to stealing NFTs in a DOOM II mod. There have also been several DOOM crossover mods, which reskin the game’s sprites as characters from other classic games like The Legend Of Zelda, insert Animal Crossing’s Isabelle as an indestructible companion, and even allow players to boot up a round of Mortal Kombat II within DOOM’s engine. Now, one skilled fan has combined DOOM with LEGO, though this latest mashup is more about how the game is displayed rather than its actual content.
