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?

Thanks, I hate it. It's even worse than cloudflares's captcha where you need to mark images with the same vibes as example.
