Quake ran smooth on a Pentium 100. Half-Life absolutely wouldn't have, even at 320x240.

Quake ran smooth on a Pentium 100. Half-Life absolutely wouldn't have, even at 320x240.
- Narishma 4mo agoI played it back when it came out on a P166 in software mode and it was fine at that resolution.
- HerbManic 4mo agoI did the same, I do wonder if it holds up as well as my memory remembers. Probably not. Like I remember Doom running fine on my 486 SX 25Mhz, but looking back at it now, it wasn't that great. It took a top end Pentium to really get it into smooth-ish 20fps+ territory.
- __alexs 4mo agoThe crunchiness of the software rendering from that era is embedded in my memory like visual dial up handshake noise.
- justsomehnguy 4mo agoOf course no. DOOM wasn't fine on Am486DX4 100MHz and Ziggurat Vertigo was like 5fps at best on it.
- Narishma 4mo agoZiggurat Vertigo was Quake, not Doom.
- justsomehnguy 4mo ago>> DOOM wasn't fine on Am486DX4 100MHz and [Quake's] Ziggurat Vertigo was like 5fps at best on it. Are you happy now?
