I wish I could go back and play it again for the first time. It was one of the first games I played after getting my first voodoo card. It felt like I was experiencing the bleeding edge of tech.

Thinking about it, i can't remeber a time in the last decade that a game made me feel that way. Crysis was probably the last time.

More on topic, yes everyone should own it. I think I bought a steam or GOG bundle and got all the doom and quake games for like $5-$10 or something like that.

I remember getting a Voodoo card specifically to play Quake II as one of the first hardware 3D games. Isn’t it the one where at the beginning you get out of a crashed rocket or something like that?

Thinking about it, i can't remeber a time in the last decade that a game made me feel that way. Crysis was probably the last time.

Some games that did it for me recently:

  • Cyberpunk with its new RT Overdrive features.
  • Portal RTX

Messing around with VR gave me that sense of wonder again for a while. If you ever get the chance to play around with it i recommend it
