The minimum requirements one is a bit of a weird one, as those were definitely a thing back then. Gaming pushed computer technology a lot and personally many of my computer upgrades were motivated to play the latest games.
I remember upgrading my PC for Duke3D from 4MB to 8MB, it cost me my entire paycheck.
Yeah, Quake 2 recommended a Pentium 133, and that was released two years earlier(the AMD equivalent was released only a year and a half before the game). It required a Pentium 90 which was three years old, but it didn't run smooth from what I remember.
That sort of requirement for a major component today would be considered self-sabotage for most non-vr pc games.
