RayTriangle built a game console inside a tiny television antenna plug, including its battery. An ESP32-S3 generates the video and audio signals for an older PAL television and runs DOOM.
Two small circuit boards sit on either side of the battery and connect through a flexible cable. The system creates an analog television carrier signal, while a Bluetooth game controller handles input.
The game console has shrunk until it is effectively the antenna plug behind the television. DOOM is on the screen, but the console is almost invisible.
Hasbro's 1999 Easy-Bake Kitchen is a plastic kitchen playset that straps over a standard PC keyboard. Moving its measuring cup, egg, mixer, oven door and other controls simply presses real keys underneath, letting children operate the accompanying CD-ROM cooking game through a physical toy interface.
LGR's Clint Basinger revisited the hardware in September 2026 and eventually remapped its controls to play DOOM II. A toy designed to turn a keyboard into a pretend kitchen becomes, decades later, an extremely impractical FPS controller.
If the toy kitchen is really just pressing keyboard keys, then of course the egg and mixer can control DOOM. The logic is sound; seeing it happen is wonderfully wrong.
