Yes, I've had the same thoughts myself.  A walking game with the MC engine
could possibly blow DOOM away.  I don't know about the RPG part, maybe a lot 
of action.

 Uh, sounds like you are describing Quake! It's a 1st player game, with 
everything you describe, spells, weapons, puzzles, netplay, and possibly 
some RPG elements.  I didn't find Magic Carpet too fun myself.

Am I the only guy who has seen preview of Dungeon Keeper from Bullfrog.
This game actually looks better than Quake to me (Quake looks quite
good though) and I'm sure it's based off the same engine as MC. DK will
be linkable RPG plus adds in the ability of one of the players being
the Dungeon Master! Not a bad little extra.

The graphics of DK are absolutley unreal, I won't and can't belive my
eyes.

My ? would be I know Quake and Descent 2 are supposed to support the
Diamond Edge Nividia board. But does anybody know if any of Bullfrogs
are gonna handle it as well? Same could be asked of "Need for Speed".
