Funny, even on my '030 AGA machine I managed to get ClickBOOM Quake
running at 2 or 3fps, so I would imagine it's definitely possible for
you to be running it faster than you are. And I would think on an '060
with graphics card it'd be at least semi-playable. Although perhaps
AWinQuake isn't quite as optimised as CB Quake is.

To be fair, you're hardly running a top-of-the-range Amiga, are you?
