Doom stands out to me as a game that changed the computer hardware industry.
Prior it being released, network cards were expensive and generally only
used for offices, universities etc. When Doom came out though, the appeal of
being able to network multiple computers together to play with/against each
other led to a lot of people buying network cards for home use. Increased
demand led to increased supply and the cost of networks cards dropping
significantly. Eventually network adaptors came standard on any PC
motherboard.

Still love the original DOOM. Remember when you first got the
BFG9000? And beat the game on 'ultra-violence' level before you knew
there were cheat codes?
