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

I played it back when it came out on a P166 in software mode and it was fine at that resolution.

I 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.

The crunchiness of the software rendering from that era is embedded in my memory like visual dial up handshake noise.

Of course no.

DOOM wasn't fine on Am486DX4 100MHz and Ziggurat Vertigo was like 5fps at best on it.

[Narishma]

Ziggurat Vertigo was Quake, not Doom.

Are you happy now?
