Playing on a mix of Pentium 100s and the odd Pentium 2 with most of them lacking hardware 3D acceleration but many evenings we'd manage to keep 2-3 servers with good numbers running which was kind of mental.
Played all kinds at home on a better spec'd PC - but it was much more fun on LAN with a good player load than the average internet laggy experience then.
Ah, the old days some great times, I remember getting a Riva TNT2, shooting the BFG in Quake2 & the green ball made light on the wall,,, I remember thinking OMG... Things have advanced a lot, hehe... In quake2 I remember thowing out the mavity Vortex into a room full of players & grappled onto the wall so it didn't suck me in,,, Sucked everyone in the local area in, accept me & it might have been a cheap shot, but it was fun, loved ChaosDM... I was on the quake leaderboard & my best connection back then was 16k rarely 21.6k in the boonies... All accept the horrid dial-up, I would love having those days back (with broadband ofcourse)...
