I had newsgroup access to the "Internet" through a local BBS in 1994, but didn't get on the Internet myself until 1995, when I experimented with a text only service, before finally getting on the real WWW. I had the shareware of Doom very early on, and in fact in our book, Vintage Games, I retell the story in the Doom chapter in a footnote of how amazing Doom looked running on my 8MB (or was it 16MB?) Gateway Pentium 90 with 15" Sony Trinitron monitor and 2MB SVGA card. Besides being a great game, it was definitely the next technical evolution.
