I'd like to know more about that. This is the first time I read that Team 17 tried to license an Amiga Doom port...
Are you sure ?

But on PC I have many times faster cpu than 68030, 24 bit graphics, 16 bit sound, 2D and 3D graphics where accelerated.
Amiga 1200 in 1992 should have chunky pixel graphics, slots for FAST RAM, and blitter with texture mapping, if commodore have not go to bankrupt.

Yep, same thing here but in 1997. A second-hand Pentium system that cost about the same as a 68040 for the A1200... The Amiga was already "Doomed" at the time, Doom only made it worse.

It would have been many years ago when i read it, so maybe in one of the old mags, but yeah, and im pretty sure they just wanted to license the name and use their own engine which obviously they used their Alien Breed IP on it instead in the end.

You're right, that's what they're saying in an issue of Amiga Power :
