I remember trying to play pre-QW Quake online at my buddy's house* and it was a giant pile of poo poo on a 28.8(?) modem. We remember rubber banding, but OG quake.exe would just reposition you, or fail to respond to input for seconds at a time.

*My mom told me I couldn't hold up the phone line playing C&C1 with a different classmate.

E: First bro handed me 3.5s containing DOOM shareware and also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_of_the_Winds. Mid 90s owned, even if you didn't have the interwebs yet.

(Don't) Ask me about Trumpet Winsock connect scripts to a University connect.

I bought the Quake demo for five bucks from Best Buy. It ran like poo poo on my mom's 486 BUT a friend I had shared it with gave me a crack that gave me the full versions of basically all of ID's software (full versions of everything were on the cd), most of which ran pretty ok. I felt like a god. A morally vacant, completely unrepentant god.

My memories of seeing episode 2 of Heretic for free after two years of playing episode 1 over and over again because I was a kid and my parents were cheap have kept me better these last couple decades than any faith in man or god ever could.
