I remember being blown away by a box in Unreal that had a pool of water on the top of it in the original Unreal on PC. I remember the game came with my Voodoo3 Graphics card and I remember tweaking the settings so much for every game I played.

Unreal was jaw dropping, especially once we got a graphics card that could run it better. It still looks pretty good just on its art and design but yeah it was wild
