Doom is playable (albeit by reducing the viewport to a postage stamp) on a 386; I'd be curious how your patch works on the 386 considering how much worse the graphics performance is on it

ROTT is in my childhood's "badass games hall of fame" along with Quarantine (aka Death Throttle aka Hard Rock Cab), Abuse, and Stratosphere. Honorable mention: Microsoft Flight Simulator: Aircraft & Scenery Designer (MFSASD) for the ability to make an almost flyable U-2 from the jet plane.

DOOM was playable on the 486SLC2 with a modestly smaller viewport despite having just a 16-bit bus. It was the one donated IBM box in my high school's computer lab that could play it because Model 25 and 30 286's sure couldn't.
In the Doom-era game Rise of the Triad, if you shrink the viewport all the way down to postage stamp size, it displays "Buy a 486!" underneath.
