Commodore was a big name in the 1970s, 80 and early parts of the 1990s. Its range of home computers spanned the decades, but one, the Commodore 64, shines just a little brighter than others. Frntc aka Carsten has devised a Raspberry Pi-powered cartridge, RAD Expansion Unit, which emulates a RAM expansion and provides a CPU boost for the 40+ year machine. And the classic means to test it has to be "Does it run Doom?" Well it does, but the Raspberry Pi is doing most of the heavy lifting. Still, the graphics and sound are all thanks to the Commodore's custom chips.
