So here’s some bad math. 160 crabs per NAND gate / byte. Doom’s original file size is roughly 2.39MB (I couldn’t find an actual source for this but it’s touted all over the web).
So 2390000 bytes * 160 crabs is 382400000 crabs.
So you can run doom on 382.4 million crabs
Edit: store, not run
you can ~~run~~ store doom
2 NAND gates are only a bit. You need 8 of those for a byte, that is 8 * 160 = 1280 crabs. For Doom you need 1280 * 2390000 = 3059200000 = 3059.2 million crabs
