There is.  It was released yesterday.

Of course, little do you know that the awesome technological power of the
C64 allows it to use what may be the most powerful 160k 5 1/4" floppy drive
in the world (really!  The disk drive is just as powerful as the computer!
They both use a 6502!  Well, ok, the computer one is called a 6510, but
that's just a number.  They're really the same thing) which means the game
only needs about 25 disks.

Using the symmetric multiprocessing power of the C64 (those smart disk
drives I was talking about) Doom manages an awe-inspiring .01fps with 1
floppy drive, and a mind-numbingly awesome .02fps with 4 of them!!!!

So... when can we expect Doom for my graphing calculator?
