- Uhm, reality is that DOOM for the Mac runs on the Amiga using
- Shapeshifter and a 040 (equivalent to a 486). Seeing that this is an
- emulation, it should run even faster in native Amiga mode.

- Saying it "is not possible" on the Amiga is simply wrong. It may not
- be viable, since not everyone has a 50 Mhz 030 or faster CPU, but
- it is certainly possible - IF you want to.
