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.
