I held on to my A1200 until the first 3DFX card was released for PC's. The incredible graphics that a Voodoo-based PC delivered was just too good to resist.


IMHO, the image 3D image quality of the voodoo 1 and 2 series was atrocious. Much preferred the output from the early ATI/nVidia boards even then. Matrox too, though 3D wasn't really their thing.

Software quality declined, sales of Amigas declined... Doom was released, the Amiga had no hope by then... The ball was already rolling... Commodore folds, end of story.


Yet, in truth, neither game has ever been beyond the reach of a modestly expanded amiga.

I always found it highly ironic that the Amiga got an official Quake port (and an unofficial one prior to that) long before Doom became available for it.
