My Pentium (nothing) 100 Mhz had 128 mb of RAM.
Of course, it was *supposed* to be a Pentium 120Mhz, and the guys at "RAM Technologies" screwed me over with an OC 100... but we all learn sometime...

Well I hate to divulge my age but - here goes - My first video game I played that got me hooked was Doom. I was astounded by the 3D environment and graphics! Played it with 8mb video but had to "dry boot" to get it to run. Windows 3.1 and a pc speaker. It rocked! LOL!

First game I think was wolfenstien. Well outside of your solitair and stuff like that.

Yea Wolfenstein was out about same time as Doom. Using the 14k baud modem it took about 20 min to download the 1 mb demo I think. That was when Mosaic was the web browser right?
I think I will embarrass myself even further - I think Doom's controls defaulted to the arrow keys - I played so much - I still use the arrow keys for FPS today - know this - and frag me away!

Hoss Wolfenstien came out quite a while before doom and it was not a browser it was dialup straight into a bbs.

You're probably too young to remember this Nonstop, but in My day when we wanted a copy of something we had to go all the way over to someones house and get it.
