Neo Geo cannot run Doom due to its sprite-based graphics architecture

arstechnica.com

A Neo Geo port of Doom is functionally impossible due to its sprite-based graphics architecture. The console's design prioritizes 2D sprites and lacks the necessary bitmap graphics modes or frame buffers for 3D rendering. While a simplified FPS like Wolfenstein 3D might be possible with added hardware, Doom's complexity remains beyond the Neo Geo's capabilities.
