      You could assign keys to strafe in 1993.

          Me and my cousins absolutely used strafe back in the early 90s. And forwards. And backwards. We were so excited every time we got into a gunfight we would have moved vertically too if there was an option for it.

            There was an option for that. It was called “Descent”.

          I have distinct memories of my dad teaching me to strafe on his 486-powered laptop with a laggy monochrome screen. Maybe it was a modifier key that changed left/right to strafing? It was definitely a feature in the OG Doom and Wolfenstein 3D before it.

              They don’t want to admit they never bothered looking at the control options.

          Nobody I knew in the early 90s played with strafe. That wasn’t a thing that existed. I couldn’t agree with you more.

            Get USB OTG and plug in any keyboard. Or you could use a bluetooth one.
