Have you seen Doom on a pregnancy test?

It's not actually running on the original hardware, it's running on external hardware which is controlling the display

where "on a pregnancy test" means "they ripped out the original hardware from a pregnancy test and put in a new controller and new display, which then shows Doom"
It's even simpler than this. On the "pregnancy test" Doom is actually running on a pc and the scaled video is sent via usb to the replaced microcontroller which drives the replaced display. Source: https://mobile.twitter.com/Foone/status/1302834931421175809
