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

When I finally upgraded from my ultra-budget NVIDIA GT710 to a GTX 1060, the Tomb Raider reboot blew me away from how good it looked

From the sheer size:

X-Beyond the Frontier

Little Big Adventure. That's the first one which looked so far and beyond what a console could do, in my mind.

I distinctly remember "Redneck Rampage" being the first game I'd ever played with an install over 100MB and it blew me away - that felt absolutely MASSIVE at the time.

The physics engine in "Jurassic Park: Trespasser" also knocked my socks off. I wish that one would get a re-release on GOG or something; it's terrible, but I've got a lot of fond memories bumbling my away around that island.

Quake was pretty mind-blowing. Full room-over-room and all.

Jane’s ATF. I’m sure it hasn’t aged well.

Siege of Avalon. I had played a few RPGs but SoA blew my socks off with the graphics and everything at the time.

I don't remember exactly if it was a DOS game but I really liked Dangerous Dave 2

Dungeon keeper 1. Real time strategy and first person shooter at the same time. Its like playing strategy game with a view from the top and then you can switch to Minecraft mode, dig the walls, build things, fight enemies.

F/A18 Interceptor on my good old Amiga 500 :)

Trite, but probably the original Wolfenstein, quickly followed by DOOM.

[–] Ballistic90@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Quake for graphics, Heroes of Might and Magic 2 for gameplay.

[–] Triprotic@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Wolfenstein 3D

The graphics and gameplay were mind blowing at the time.

Half-Life playing deathmatch for the first time on a 56k modem, lagging like hell but when i saw someone else for the first running around my mind was blown haha

Diablo 2 absolutely blew my adolescent mind. It was also my first PC game!

[–] wtf@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

EverQuest completely blew my mind as a younger teen.
