8 Weirdest Devices People Have Managed to Play Video Games On

Canon Pixma Printer

Printers have come a long way from the loud and clunky old dot-matrix devices that didn’t even have a black and white display. At best, you could play the song At Doom’s Gate on one of these old devices. But seven years ago, a team of researchers at Context Information Security was able to get the original Doom running on a Canon Pixma printer.

The color screen on the printer isn’t up to par with current monitors, but it’s clear enough to make out walls and enemies. Obviously, It’s not an ideal situation for playing Doom, but there are much worse ways to play coming up. But if you can handle staring at a two-inch screen, then go for it.
