CAN IT RUN DOOM?
How Thatcher’s Techbase became a console game
Referencing the longrunning joke about Id’s classic FPS being able to run on almost every electronic device going, Purvis began to investigate which hardware might be able to support Thatcher’s Techbase. “Most modes can run on anything if they’re not too strenuous. I tried to keep the scope of it small enough – unfortunately, it [didn’t stretch to] pregnancy tests and fridges and stuff… but then I realised I had a homebrew 3DS at home.” So, yes, you can technically play the game on 3DS and Wii, and possibly other console hardware.
