Doom didn't kill the Amiga, Wolfenstein did

I've read where a number of people are referencing Doom but the truth is that Wolf3D set everything into motion.

I remember seeing that game and *knowing* that was the future of gaming.  Just like the first time I saw the Amiga in 1985 and knowing multitasking was the future.

Wolf3D put multiple companies/games into 3D mode and look how many games started to come out after that.  Doom did give us LAN ability and Quake tied it all together with real 3D but Wolf set the stage.

I remember thinking -at the time- that I wished the Amiga could do Chunky Pixel easily given how cool these games were.
