Ah yes, had it running on my Pentium 60 MHz, 16MB RAM in '95. Didn't run on highest specs, but performance was good enough in SVGA. 60MHz single core and having a floating point unit in your CPU was considered acceleration.

60fps!? What a luxury. Quake 1 runs simulation at 10Hz, and I don't think they've expected more than 20-30fps.

Wasn't it released in mid '96?

You might be right. Anyway, I played it shortly after it was released and it was the mid '90s.
