    Wing Commander 3 in 1995 on a friend's Pentium computer. I would have been 12. I will say that I had an Amiga at the time which I played games on, but this was the first PC game.
     
    It wasn't a 2 player game, but we'd huddle round the keyboard, he'd fly the ship and I'd handle the weapons.
     
    I got my first PC in 1998 because of Carmageddon 2. I'd never seen such a freeform racer with so many ways to win a race, weapons, open world exploration and of course the damage system that was sophisticated enough to even split the car in two with the right crash/force.

    You basically have it right. 
    They all use the same chip, they make their own circuit board, BIOS and cooler.  So one might have a higher turbo clock sped than another, or a better PCB, but the chips are the same so there won't be a 50% difference or anything.  Mostly it's the look and the sound that are different.  
    You can also OC them all to about the same performance with software like MSI Afterburner.
