Here's DOOM on my '020 14MHz A2000!

That's using 16-bit Fast RAM, hence slower speed than expected. I think Doom requires 6 MB of RAM. Can you fit more Fast RAM to that 68020 card?

So will a Pentium1, heck even a faster 486.  :)

Really though I don't think it matters. Whatever people want to play it on is as valid as the next persons choice.


This Voodoo III equipped A1200 with a 68060 @ 75 MHz does a pretty good job.

To me though, Amiga was all about creating things. There's software to cater for every need, I never got bored. Modern computing is more about consumption than creation, so keep hold of your A2000 and cling on to that old mind set, where I found computing totally engrossing, if only an hour or two per week. Also, there's a chance that if you do sell your gear (or skip it) then you may regret that decision. There's a whole software library out there, and it can be enjoyed with any Amiga with a hard drive and a couple of megs of Fast RAM.
