We saw a preview of an amazing little game called Halo:

 

 

That was running on a 500 MHz G4 with a 100 MHz bus, truly amazing stuff for the time.

 

Then as we all know, Microsoft bought the company and prostituted the product for their Xbox launch and screwed up the PC and Mac versions which had to be re-ported much later.

 

And now that MS finally finished digesting Bungie and has spit it back up, hopefully we'll see some great innovation with this next effort:

Doom, Doom 2, Heritic, Hexen, ROT(Rise of the Triads), Duke Nukem were the start..... ran on my 486DX2 66 in DOS. Now them were good games and no 3D games today would be the same without them. Doom being the first...... multiplier FPS. 

 

But cool history lesson anyway... thats what they get for making it on a MAC in the first place. ;)

Wolf3d, Quake, Tombraider, MDK, Doom, Rott....ah, all ran beautiful on a 486 33 w/32meg memory under dos. Then came win95, and life as we knew it ended.

Well doom was actually originally developed on a predecessor of the current MacOS called NeXt Step:

  from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Doom

 

Programming  Doom was developed on NeXT workstations, under the NEXTSTEP operating system

Keeping it on Bungie,

 

They did have an FPS called Pathways into darkness which was introduced a few months before DOOM, and then they followed it up a year later with a product that kicked Doom's butt graphically and network game play wise:
