I mean, there was a lot of reason to feel that way. My friends were struggling with DOS and autoexec.bat/config.sys and IRQ settings and sometimes didn't even have sound cards (still remember when my friend's birthday gift was a sound card lol), playing 320x240 resolution games. Meanwhile I was gaming away at 640x480 256 colors, with 16-bit stereo 22khz or 44khz sound. Yeah, we didn't have quite the same selection of games, but we had some damn good exclusives. Bolo, Escape Velocity (and everything else from Ambrosia), Marathon, Battle-Girl, Realmz, so many others I can't remember the names of.
