I took for granted that the internet only existed in libraries and wealthy friends' houses

    Who had a CD ROM drive and a sound blaster? Doom was a whole new dimension with it. It was real and very scary!

    I saw a yt vid I can't find right now of someone doing a comparison between sound blaster and this other high end speaker (also available at the time) that I didn't even know existed, and now cant remember the name of. Apparently a lot of those dos games had really deep music scores that those of us with just sound blaster never got to hear.

    Edit: I think this is what I saw https://youtu.be/wUtWbb8hAh8

    CD-ROM with lots of shareware programs. First two levels of Doom, before I got it from somewhere else. Had a few original bought games but most was pirated. Before LAN parties, you came to a friends house with your computer, monitor, everything, and connected via serial cable and parallel cable - first mentioned to play games, second one to copy files.
