Did you think you’ve seen the last of Doom running on random stuff? Think again. Landscaping technology company Husqvarna on some of its robot lawn mowers. So you can mow down hellspawn just ahead of mowing down errant blades of grass.
Here’s the deal. It’ll only be available on the company’s Automower Nera robotic lawn mower models, beginning this April. Once downloaded, you play the game via the lawn mower’s onboard display. Rotating the control knob turns Doomguy left and right and pressing the knob makes you shoot. Holding down the start button initiates forward movement. It’s Doom. You know the drill.
There are some caveats here. First of all, you have to sign up to download the software by September 9. It won’t be available for US residents, despite Husqvarna to sell more robot lawn mowers in the United States. Finally, this is just the game running on the onboard display. It’s not as if the mower turns your yard into an actual level, with unwanted greenery representing demonic enemies. Still, it’s always nice to see Doom continue to do its thing.
The idea to make the shooter available to lawn mower enthusiasts came after a successful test run at the which was held in Sweden last December. This is just the latest example of Doom popping up where it shouldn’t. We’ve seen the FPS running on and even inside of other games, like the sequel and Most recently, Doom was spotted with a frame rate so atrocious it would take 600 years to reach the ending.
