I can still recall its intro and sound bites. That was such a weird era in gaming history; all these cool ideas being explored, but average computing power was not quite enough to do them justice. An odd limbo between the era when most games didn't attempt to be realistic, and before games could actually be realistic. So you had all these games that thought they were being realistic, and we did what we had always done: nodded along and pretended that they were indeed realistic, and helped them by sticking to their rails. :)
