While folks remember Quake and the N64 being big deals for the 3D game landscape going forward, especially at home, let us remember that 1996 was also the year of Virtua Fighter 3, and the Model 3, an arcade machine with 3D graphics so advanced and so expensive it probably helped bankrupt Sega tbh
if the world just kept building nuclear plants at the same pace we were in the 80s, climate change would be a long term issue and we would have had more time to transition to electric cars and trains.
