Come to think of it, a turbo button could be useful on other things in life...the car, the washing machine, the dishwasher, the lawnmower, and on and on!

Heretic was an awesome game. So was Decent.

I remember playing a game on my first 486 that ran so far that you would die before you have a chance to do anything because the game didn't have any speed checking built in.
