parents wouldn't buy me video game systems, so I had to make do. Sierra games were my jam -- King's Quest, Police Quest, Manhunter, Hero's Quest. Also remember when we had to buy a new 15MB hard-drive in order to play Wing Commander 2, because whatever the install was exceeded what we had. Also remember when we had to upgrade to 8MB RAM in order to play NHL 94, one of the best decisions my family ever made. Oh yeah, and that was roughly Doom 2 era, definitely pirated all those 'shareware' type games. Duke Nukem was one of those, too. I have no idea how game publishers were making money back then, because I never paid for shit lol.
