Except that Doom was released (for DOS!) in December 1993, over a year after the A1200 was launched. So once again it's asking a bit much to expect the design to anticipate software that wouldn't appear until more than a year later.

OTOH the CD32 did get chunky-to-planar conversion, so Commodore were keeping up with the play as well as can be expected. If only they had managed to squeeze a faster 020 and a couple Megs of FastRAM into it...
