Get posting then. A decent x86 emulator has just come out for it, and
it'll play Doom! What other reason do you need to get a Pi?
Why x86 emulation when you can (or should be able to) run a native build?
probably because a native build wont run on ARM?

There has been a RISC OS port of Doom for five, maybe even ten years.

More like 10, I think. I recall seeing its source being worked on at one
Wakefield show.

That runs on ARM. See https://sites.google.com/site/jeffreyadoggett/ for
example. There are even ports of Quake, Syndicate and Descent from
http://www.arsvcs.demon.co.uk/leisure/index.html among other people.

A few commands for those who still think otherwise:

$ apt-cache search doom
$ apt-cache search quake

The real question is whether 'ArcElite' will run.

Well. 26-bit code, as others have said. Aemulor?

(I still have code to port...)
