The article's title indicates that a programmer has produced a working build of the classic first-person shooter Doom for the Commodore 64, a 1980s home computer with far less processing power and memory than the systems Doom was originally designed for in the 1990s. This is presented as further proof of the long-running community joke that "it runs Doom" can apply to almost any device, however old or underpowered.
