      To be fair, it’s a little more complex than a regular CD key. Not a lot, but a little.

        Painstakingly daisy-chained systems, from the sub-optimal to the bizarre, all dutifully proliferated DOOM along the line. Some say it originated in a Casio watch, others a coffeepot, and a rare few believe it was a tamagotchi. Whatever that system-zero was, it changed video gaming forever.
