This guy may have been joking.  But still, he may have meant a REAL vga
mode. 8^)  You know, like 640x480x256.  That would look very cool, but
would probably be unplayable on most or all machines (well, at the least
it would be slow).  Doom is a serious resource hog (see Windows), and
quaddrupling the number of pixels is not going to help matters.  Perhaps
the really high-end machines like the Pentium (tm) could handle it.  Of
course the video cards would have to be 'top of the line' too.  Don't look
for it anytime soon. 8^)
