Seems to be a PocketPC port of Doom, with no source given or even a snippet of the relevant code/variable name/etc. shown at all.

It's also running on very old hardware, potentially with some electrolytic capacitors that have dried up. And, there's always the possibility that it's a gamma ray [1]!
