For me it was definitely DOOM 2! Miles ahead of anything else I had played before.

Probably Return to Castle Wolfenstein was one of the first games i ever played

Even with the view window reduced so it would run decently on my 12mhz 80286, I was amazed.

Hello fellow old person! You’re thinking of Wolfenstein 3D, which I also played on a 286. Return to Castle Wolfenstein was from around the year 2000, I believe.

oops, that's right. It's been some years. :)

I didn’t own it, but my dad’s friend had it on a computer in the back of his shop. I spent hours back there when he was visiting his friend.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this game also the engine upon which Enemy Territory was built? I logged soooo many hours in that multiplayer mode...

I believe it was one of the early games to implement classes/roles in a team-based shooter

Arguably the best free game ever released. "I'm a medic!"

This is what did it for me.
