Doom playing on a pregnancy test

Foone recently examined the guts of a digital pregnancy test to find that it was a fully-functional system on a chip that simply looks at the lines on a standard test strip and reports what it sees. They originally reported that the pregnancy test, with its baked-in ROM and tiny display, couldn't play Doom. Foone has now proven otherwise.

Yesterday I had a lot of retweets and reddit posts and such for playing Doom on a pregnancy test.
But as I explained then, it wasn't really PLAYING on a pregnancy test, it was just a video being played back, not an interactive game.

Well, now it is. It's Pregnancy Test Doom!
