Unless you had an SGI, this stuff really didn't get exciting until RISC
and PowerPC (Marathon, Halo 1...) and then hardware 3D, which soon

I dunno. DOOM is open source now (not the art,
but the engine is).
It probably could, with an extensive porting effort (and probably a
custom operating system to handle the memory overlays required).
You might be able to render a few frames a minute at 80x24 char
resolution.
What does DOOM need, CPU power of graphics?
