It is probably already possible. The tty needs a very specific setup. I have managed to get many doom ports working on tty at times. Game and tty resoultion need to match. Also need some sort of specific permissions and packages installed. Need to make sure framebuffer graphics are enabled and driver is installed, and /dev/fb0 exist. Might need to enable something from the kernel to enable /dev/fb0.

With unresponsive hardlocks, might just be resolution differences and need fullscreen already enabled. Ive seen that years ago.

It was easier with SDL1 and distros have moved away from easy defaults. I currently have titlepic music when launching, but /dev/fb0 is missing.
