I don't think a 10 MHz Z80 and 512 KB of RAM is enough for DOOM as we know it. There are some games called "doom" for the similar Ti 83/84 calculators, but they're more similar to Wolfenstein 3D: very cut-down from what DOOM is actually like.

Yes, you're right. I don't know if you can see this: https://i.redd.it/vtswj6s8wh321.jpg

But what it says is that it required 24MB of HDD (12MB after installation), and a 386 or equivalent computer. An i386 is quite powerful, to be honest. It even has protected mode!

And, 4MB RAM, which is more than what I had on my 286 laptop back in the day.

You're correct. But hey, if Foone can "run Doom" "on a pregnancy test" then why not, in the same sense? ;)
