> I know it's 18 years old game by now, but in my mind it's the first wave of "next gen" games

Oh man that makes me feel old. I remember first playing this on my tiny 12" powerbook from 2004... and back then It felt like a heavy weight that shouldn't quite be running on that machine.

Oh, God - I, too; experienced DOOM 3 for the first time on a PowerPC Mac...not exactly a pleasant experience.

I was an early adopter of the first Intel MacBook; and let me tell you - the difference (once we had a Universal Binary) was like riding a horse vs. driving a car.

Other than Final Cut Express and Logic Express performance, I found DOOM 3 to be one of the first major signs that Intel was meant to be and here to stay.
