Whether it was an Atari Jaguar, a 3DO, a Saturn or a Playstation, when you bought a console in the mid-90s, you could be confident that you were getting a cutting edge gaming experience in the home (the arcades were still well ahead). A PC was still worth it, even if it was just to be able to get online and surf the internet. My dad bought us a Windows 95 Pentium PC primarily for that reason. The only gaming I did on it were Civ 2 and Championship Manager (which to be fair were absolute classics which you could play pretty much forever) and some point and click adventures, with the Saturn providing more action-type games. Total War: Shogun would be enough to convince me to get a Voodoo GPU, at which point I guess you could say it was finally more powerful than my Saturn.
Looking forward to seeing the Dreamcast compared to the PCs of the time in the next episode (hopefully he'll cover the N64 too).
