I fondly remember the old Quake 1 days. It was pretty much the last game I played seriously. Reading Carmack .plans were a regular routine and while many of the details went over my head, it made us feel part of the whole id experience.
Finally networked Quake was an amazing experience when it came out. I had started my first job in an ASIC design company. All the computers were Solaris based Sun workstations, yet we were able to get network quake up and running on them! I just can't imagine such a thing happening today but maybe that's more to do with me being 20 years older than anything else. For sure no one is porting game engines to Solaris these days ;)
