- Doom is VERY possible on the Amiga. The only thing that makes doom impossible
- on the amiga is because nobody wants to convert it. Take a look at team17's
- ab3dse. It's engine is far beyond the one in doom.

- The ab3d engine can do more than the one in doom. Just look at the water
- effects and the multilevel possibility. (Don't reply to this if you don't get
- what multilevel I'm talk about, just think again.). AB3d has looks like shit
- (ab3dse will look better. Much better) but it has a very advanced engine.
-
- Btw. The breathless engine cannot do walls in different angles. So no doom in
- breathless engine. Besides WHY convert doom with ANY engine ? What's the use ?
