Doom didn't kill the Amiga, Wolfenstein did...
Couldn't agree more.
When I saw Wolfenstein that was the first time I knew my Amiga couldn't match it.
Didn't matter that I thought it was a bad game (and I think so about Doom too btw), but PC owners were lapping it up like it was delivered by the proverbial Jobs himself. Even more so with Doom. And suddenly pseudo-3D was the only thing that counted and PC gaming was cool.
A case of brute force winning over elegance and finesse. 50fps has been dead ever since. I guess we have to be happy that it lasted as long as it did.
