I'm gonna be "that guy": this is rendering Doom to a display made of E. coli cells, not using the cells as a computational substrate. It's not what people mean by "can it run Doom".
For me, the cool part is the biotech used to create the pixels. For some reason ODEs are involved?
Two of the most recent DOOM stunts have been about not computing DOOM on the stunt substrate
