That sounds really bad. My first contact with Doom 3 was on my roommate's computer in 2005 - it ran decently on 1024x768, Medium settings. There were just a few spots that exhibited slight lag. But it was perfectly playable and beatable. Playing at home was problematic because we had a horrible monitor at the time - it was very dark and this was a big issue with a game that was already pretty dark.

Heh heh, there is always worse... imagine playing CGA platformers or ASCII mode stuff (like Kroz). What does a treasure chest look like? It's a red rectangle with a "C" on it. Makes perfect sense. Good thing there aren't any coffins or cabinets in the game, or we'd run out of graphics pretty quick :P

One of my earliest games (Spear of Destiny) came on 5.25-inch floppy disks, and I still keep them as a memento. I don't even know if they still work. CD's were a big step forward because they allowed the creation of much larger games... but that meant having the disc in the drive at all times since hard drives were rarely big enough to contain the whole thing.
