I had a 286 when I first played Wolfenstein 3D.  I had just gotten a VGA graphics card & monitor, and I remember having a Sound Blaster card as well.  I didn't really think about powerfulness at the time; I just enjoyed playing it. I got a 386SX-16 a bit later, in order to play some games that required a 386, but it seemed it was about the slowest 386 there was.  I could play Doom, but it worked best if I shrank the video size down as small as it would allow.  I also wanted to play Microsoft's then-new Flight Simulator 5.0 on it, and it did run, but it was like a slide show.
