	That's quite the point: Crispy Doom is a slight tweak to
	Chocolate Doom [1], and the latter's has /no/ bells nor
	whistles: instead, it aims for the as close experience to
	the original (sans obvious bugs) as practically possible
	on the current hardware.

	Yeah; I have a dedicated Am386-40-based machine for that kind
	of thing.  Though I mostly play Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of
	Destiny there, rather than Doom.  (Which would be a tad slow
	there, I'd think.)
