Is this one of the smallest playable DOOM devices?

As a title that is doubly circumspect. The question form "Is this the smallest ..." allows for "no". Or "This is one of the smallest ..." is always true if it is smallish.

Using both seems like timidity.

How does it work on 2MB of RAM? I remember original Doom pretty much sucked on 4MB even, you got to have 8 to play it properly.

Probably uses a swap file on the 8MB of flash which most likely has just as fast read speeds as the original Dos PC's ram did.

*Edit*

it looks like it is using a clone of Doom called PrBoom so the system requirements of the original would not apply. Kind of misleading but my eyes are so bad I probably couldn't tell the difference between Doom or Pong on a 1.3" screen anyways!!!
