Doom - we upgraded to 16MB of RAM so we could play it through Windows 95.
Win95 wanted 4MB and Doom wanted all 8 that we had, so we had to exit, reboot, and go to DOS then run it manually.
Same here but my upgrade was 4MB to 8MB for better DOS performance.
I had to run a boot disk because we couldn't run Windows 3.1 and Doom 2 at the same time. Good times.
My brother had a friend who knew how to upgrade computers, but we never got permission to do so. And then some years later my brother's friend was taken by the state because his parents believed some of that early Sovereign Citizen bullshit and stopped paying taxes. I think there were also some drug charges. It was just personal amounts of pot, but it was the early 90s, so they were fucked.
