Doom ported to a standalone Microsoft Word document — plays well but there's no sound (www.tomshardware.com)

A software engineer has ported Doom to a standalone Word document. The single 6.6MB document file, available via GitHub, contains a source port of doomgeneric. Users will need a modern version of Microsoft Office/Word on an x86 computer system, and eschew security warnings, to enable the VBA macro in the document to run.

Coincidence it just recently got ported to a pdf?

Its not the artists first piece though so maybe it is unrelated.. i am gonna have to check out their “doom in stardew valley”

I guess Doom in Stardew Valley is just a mod replacing one of the games in the bar? So maybe not too impressive, then again I am not a programmer and will not be as appreciative of technical feats.

Save you a little digging:

https://github.com/wojciech-graj/doom-docm/releases/download/0.1.0/doom.docm

And, like the PDF, I can't get it to fly.

Can I - should I! - risk to ask what is the ultimate goal to run Doom?
