PC gaming was hard in the 90s

I also remember that I couldn't play Quake 3 with only 32 Mb of RAM we had in the family PC then, and it was the very first time I bought PC hardware with my own money. Bought 32 Mb of RAM. My father didn't want me to put it into the PC myself, said I didn't know what I was doing. So that night I actually got up when everyone was asleep to put the RAM in the PC and play some Quake 3

My mom didn't want me to install a new hard drive into our PC. She had a IT place do it with labour costs and everything.

Meanwhile at the LANS we were swapping HDD's like there was no tomorrow
