   Uhhh, that thing eats processor time and ram like a tornado eats up
mobile home park. I really think it wouldn't want to run well on a GS
at ALL. :)

   [Running that game at a decent resolution (640x480 or better,
20+fps) is damn hard on a lot of pentiums (My P90, 32MB ram can't do
that.) And I don't think it's simply because of poor coding or
algorithms.]

   Besides, in my opinion, the gameplay sucks compared to Duke Nukem
3D. Who needs Doom XVII: "Nightmares of our graphic designers after too
much Taco Hell"?   :)
