Was first for me too. I was amazed and immediately hooked. Managed to cobble together my first 386 machine trading code and CAD / CNC programming work for parts. Had 5 Mb of RAM. Just enough to run a browser and Winsock. Bo sound card. I had an amazing experience on that machine playing W3D: Got whomped on a level, and I forget which one, but the gist of it was having a couple health points, no ammo and ended up in a long, narrow hall, at the dead end. I turned the other way, knife ready, determined to finish the level and proceeded to knife a nice string of baddies with god line speed and precision! It was three or four and I just had to knife them all, right at the end of the hall, poking each of them often enough to keep their shots at bay! Truth is my 386 was a bit pokey, and that gave me just the little edge I needed to take them down and score that ammo! From there, and a couple more quick pop out and shoot kills later, med pack! Home free, gonna make it... This was in the middle of the week, me up super late, tired at work the next day, no regrets. I love how raw, simple, maybe pure is the right word, the game is. Twitchy as hell. Distilled down to the elements needed for fun.
