Clickboom's Quake ran about 9FPS average on my 060/66MHz/PicassoIV A4000T. Wasn't smooth at times, but I played through the whole game. There were supposedly ways to improve FPS a bit with certain settings, but I never found a good howto or anything on how to do that and it never happened for me, but perhaps there's some tips to help on a web site somewhere that I never found... There's also been ports of the GPLed codebase that may have been better optimized, and I imagine there's an OpenGL version that would take advantage of a Voodoo3 and maybe even Cybervision64-3d card.
