Yeah... and I been there the whole time; still occasionally playing the 5000+ user built maps and mods that are on my hard drive. (remember I am 84 and was 54 when I started along with Supertech)

My first computer in the early 90s was a Soviet clone - Sintez (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ZX_Spectrum_clones#Sintez_and_-Sintez-). Our country was in the midst of the transition from the communist regime to the democratic one, and no one had any money. As a schoolboy, I barely managed to scrape together the money for this device. Then there was the Scorpion ZS-256 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ZX_Spectrum_clones#Scorpion_ZS-256), PC with 386-SLC, Fidonet, 486 DX... Doom, of course.

It was a good time. Difficult but interesting. There was still hope that our country would get out of the ass.

Very first time for me was on a floor demo Windows 3.1/Dos 6.22 at a store in 94

Second time was in 1996 on a Macintosh Performa 460 that was woefully underpowered
for the game, but I managed a few FPS out of it, and I was insanely hooked.
Despite the slideshow and stuttery sound, I really did feel like I was
peering into another world.
