True, not many of '95s PCs could handle Tribes, but interesting how many folks were playing it then, years before release [12/98].
I wasn't sure about that date, but I thought the original came out before then. 
Either way, if you figure 1995 with your standard 10% error, it would then be ±199.5 years, so it would have been between 1795.5 and 2194.5. In that case, end of 1998 would be pretty close to my original guess.

Re: Quake 4...
Fair enough. 
It'd run especially poorly in software on a '95 PC, too, and no 3Dfx cards then. (Of course, with your standard 10% margin of error... 
)

I suggest a healthy dose of HL2 to remedy your situation.

Well, judging from the fact that my parents didn't even let me get my first console until 1998 (I was 12), and the fact that I haven't been paying any attention to computer graphics hardware until a few years ago, I'd say I probably don't know too much about the hardware capabilities in 1995. I'd like to think I know quite a bit about modern hardware, though, especially since I'm working on OpenGL programming.
