Is that the FPS where you can be a marine or an Alien? I remember
playing the demo on a friends PC when it came out. I can't remember if
it was because the demo only came with a software renderer or because
my friend didn't have a 3D gfx card at the time (unlikely) but the
graphics were totally awful.

Really, really, really bad. They obviously never paid any attention
to the software rendering, because as soon as you played the full game
on a 3D card, it was completely different.

I'd also guess that this would be the biggest game that anyone could
try to port, so it would be a huge amount of work, and you'd probably
need to target PPC+BVision/Voodoo3.

That and the Amiga games seem to be reaching saturation point for the
number of FPS compared to people who play these games.
