One of the few games I was able to play in The Netherlands, while my cousin who lived in Germany wasn't allowed to. (He had everything.) I liked it, played it on our 80286. Battle Isle 2 was also fun. Doom, Doom II I enjoyed back in the days, tho on the Pentium. But its games like Heretic, Hexen, Duke 3D, Dune 2, Command & Conquer, Warcraft II, and the Keen with the living vegetables which stood out to me. They were either unique, hilarious, exciting, or atmospheric. I remember pirating C&C with a bunch of floppies. Played GDI, the good guys like the good kid I was. Till I got to Greece, that was brutal for me. So I tried Nod. Well, only one or two levels worked. It was incomplete! I didn't have the proper floppies. But almost all above games I played single player. Doom was good fun with null modem cable. I guess the most multiplayer fun was things like Quake II with Lithium mod and something like Tetrinet. To be fair, I'm not sure if its the enthusiasm I had back then (easily enthusiastic and impressed as kid) or if it was genuinely amazing games. Because nowadays, hardly anything impresses me, while I see my youngest playing the shit out of a bunch of toy cars we bought second hand (about 20 of them, together for one EUR). Best investment I made in toys, ever. Cause I bet I'd have loved some kind of Rollercoaster or Railroad Tycoon sim (I did play Simcity as well) or Leisure Suit Larry back in the days. My point being: stuff you missed wasn't necessarily bad. You'll never know how good it was. Cause you're a completely different iteration of yourself, with a lot more experience (different context). And so, I have this rule for myself: don't replay old games. Keep it nostalgic. Cause it won't be as fun as the lovely memory. I mean, I loved Speedball 2 and Mystic Quest on gameboy, not many people I knew did, and that's OK. But whenever I tried replaying them, it was a huge letdown. Likewise, I get annoyed to smithereens with old games. The keybinds, the graphics, glitches, etc etc. We're spoiled with today's supercomputers :) Regarding the Wolfenstein franchise, I think the one game which did it for me was Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Though I couldn't afford it back in the days, so I had to single player and pirate. Eventually Splash Damage's Enemy Territory got out. And that game I played an insane amount of time, as it was F2P without strings attached (as far as I can tell), and it worked native on Linux! Back then though, there were some weird people playing that game. With weird nicknames, for sure. I guess that aspect of gaming only got worse though...
