      Something tells me that a Microchannel computer will not be able to run Doom III due to its lack of decent 3D support.

      Oh, you meant the Playstation2? Sorry.. :)

    You can find it on kazaa/fasttrack network. The filename is 'doom_3.avi' and there may be other variations out there. It's very cool.

    For those that have not still found out Quake uses a completely configurable engine from the first version.
