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.
