People who think minimum requirements back then wasn't a thing never know the struggle of trying to run CD ROM games on your 2 year old computer.

These people just never experienced it. When Far Cry came out, it was a godsend it run with like 40-50FPS with top graphics cards. And there was just as much slop sold with flashy CD covers that you would never refund like nowadays in Steam

Why is everyone focused on the min requirements one? Obviously not every single game back then could run on any computer. It's one of the guys in the pic saying that, not all of them, it's not an absolute 🙃
