That statement is simply wrong, as Doom run really nicely on 040, and on 020/030 it runs no worse then on 386 (I think it runs even better).
When Dread introduce stairs, it will be full slap in the Carmack face  |
ID software's expertese was in PC, it was in their interest to promote PC and downplay any competitors.
The console market wasnt a competor hence the SNES port no doubt with a bag full of cash.
ID spent ages investigating how to do smooth scrolling on PC, it says it all really.
Dont get me wrong i love Carmac and his talks but it was all business. Having said that the Amiga base with 030 cards when doom released was tiny.
