DOOM CAPTCHA: Defeat 3 Monsters for Verification | Retro Gaming News 24/7 (www.retronews.com)

The DOOM CAPTCHA is a unique verification method that requires users to play a small section of the classic DOOM game, defeating three monsters using just a pistol. This approach uses WebAssembly to run a mini-game directly in the browser.

Accessibility Concerns: Users may find it challenging, especially since it seems to use higher difficulty levels like Ultra-Violence or Nightmare.
Tech Community Reaction: The concept has gained traction online, with mixed reviews from users, who often describe it as 'fun but frustrating'.

While this system isn’t likely to replace traditional CAPTCHAs widely, it definitely adds an interesting twist.

Could you beat this CAPTCHA?

Interesting, but honestly this takes too much time to be a captcha. The longer it takes people to complete a captcha, the higher chances greedy people start looking to inject ads into it. I mean, they already do, but like, worse. Afterall, captchas are not "skippable," and therefore ads in a captcha cannot be skipped.

Id rather not live in a world where verifying I am a human means I need to be subjected to 27 ads just to find the one thing I need to click on to prove I am, in fact, a human.

In the near future you can verify that you are human by putting in the code that you find on you daily Dr. Pepper can. The best thing? You have the chance to win a free COD skin!
