It didn't take much to play those games seriously if you wanted.
But think about it...
A laser mouse will give you the ability to move faster and be more accurate compared to a ball mouse? Pretty sure I'm right.
A 120hz monitor will give you the ability to see fast moving objects more clear? Pretty sure I nailed that one too.
Hmm.....pretty sure hardware does give you the ability to play better...just might...just maybe
It doesn't matter when they came out. They ran just fine on low end PCs at the time.
Edit: Wait, 8 GB RAM in 1998? That's good even today. A very good computer in 1998 had 512 MB of RAM.
You can get a decent gaming mouse for about $40 and your monitor has next to nothing to do with how well you can play a game (beyond a reasonable level of quality like being able to see what's going on without lag).
