It's not a surprise considering when Doom was out, Amiga (Commodore) was in its last days. Amiga 1200/AGA was a beast in its day. I still have that mental image of it being powerful. Which is funny, considering that system is barely (not) able to play an mp3. Consider that fact for a moment.
- fallous 11y agoTo be fair, the parent's Pentium-60 was also struggling with playing an MP3 file during that time as well. It wasn't Doom that convinced me to switch from the Amiga to Wintel, it was MP3. My P100 was adequate but you weren't doing a lot of other things during playback.
- Keyframe 11y agoTo be fair, the parent's Pentium-60 was also struggling with playing an MP3 file during that time as well. Of course. I find it amusing that a machine that we deemed as so powerful (020/AGA) and on which we saw such nice graphical exhibitions isn't powerful enough to run 44KhZ/128Kbit mp3. It's more of a testament of time and Amiga itself (it was powerful!).
