I posted the original. I have win95 and I can run Doom95 in high-res,
it's great. The reason I want to run MacDoom is to be able to say "I
CAN!" Think about it: Doom is a pretty cpu intensive game, it's a test
of how well Executor works. Is it really comparable to a real Mac or
does it fall short.
I think that Executor is great. The people at Ardi are doing a great
thing. I wouldn't condemn it just cause it can't run MacDoom, but
wouldn't it be cool if it could.
