The problem with video game magazines was they were constantly bullshiting.

You can't play Q2 on P133 in sw-mode. Unless you call 320*240/15 frames "playing".

People considered 320x240 at 15 fps to be acceptable, yes. They did on N64, and they did on PC, too.

That says Pentium 90.

I and many others played PC games like this back in the day. The framerate meme is more of a modern phenomenon.

>>11817579
Absolutely. PC gamers pretending to be above low framerates are full of balogna.

Funny thing is just add V1 6Mb to that P90 and Q2 becomes playable.
Too bad V1 required some $150.

The technical term is "journalism".

yes
and it was a P120
but i was also able to play through all of Doom on the SNES so i probably just have a high tolerance for that kind of thing

>it's the unrelenting gameplay, not pretty graphics, that gave the Quake series its great reputation
bullshitters indeed
