I remember trying to get the IRIX Doom port running on an Indigo,
just for kicks. It crashed the system. I still remember all the
pretty GUI graphics vanishing in an eye-blink, to be replaced with a
plain blue text screen (hey, this sounds familiar!) with the message:
PANIC: KERNEL FAULT
... and some kind of register dump. I thought for sure I was gonna be
fired, but it rebooted okay. *phew*
Trivia: The original Doom's original map editor (used in-house at id
Software to build the game) ran only on a Unix-like system. It was
either an SGI or NeXT platform, I forget which. DOS PCs at the time
barely had enough power to run the game; they couldn't edit it.
