- That's a lie, and they know it. It's just their excuse for not making DOOM for
- the Amiga, because they don't see it as being finacially lucrative compared to PC.
-
- An '030 (25 Mhz and above) or '040 based Amiga is definitly capable of doing DOOM.
-
- Hell, I'm playing a DOOM-like game named TOWERS II in High-Color in my '030 Falcon,
- with about 14 fps in 16 Mhz mode.
-
- So why shouldn't an AMIGA be able to do that too ?
- Especially a 68040 is pretty ace! :-)
