Ok, I ripped off the idea from the other thread, bite me 
I had just gotten my first PC, a P200 MMX with 8MB RAM, I think, I am thinking maybe 1998?
I purchased Championship Manager which would tide me over till Half Life 1 was released in November the same year which would be my second full price purchase
Internet hype was not a thing back then, so I just went into GAME on a Friday afternoon release day walkabout to see what was out and noticed it on the shelf in its big Orange box.
I recall reading something about it in PC Format maybe, or PC Gamer and thought "Meh, why not".
Got home and was in awe, what a game. Will always hold a place in my heart. The training level alone had me thinking "AWESOME".
