Anyone here still play Quake?

[tl_tub]

Just downloading Quake 1, but will it run on windows 2000 (NT)?

For real old skool, get four of you together and hook up an IPX/SPX Netware LAN over coax cable.
After playing a lot of abandonware before leaving my last job, I have to agree with Jim2. After the retro excitement dies down, you'll find the interface clunky, the graphics dull and blocky and be mildy disappointed.
What am I saying? Sod that, I'm in. When and where?

yeah thats what I run it on

[k14]

Yeah used to play it but I'll take the battlefield 2 demo for the moment.

[riffer]

battlefield 2, battlefield 2, that's all I bloody hear from people at the moment.

I'm still trying to get through Doom3!

Hey pyrocam - there's no problem with connecting to the server off a mac is there?

I should fire up the G4 in MacOs9 (damn I'll have to load a pure OS9 OS onto it), load Quake 1 and hook up...

Quake 3 is more fun...

Last time I played this was on a k6-2 380mhz laptop with 2mb video. Maximum graphics settings of course Musta been 2-3 years now.

I 'think' I have an install lying around with KQP etc etc but 'damn I'm keen'

Just revived doom1 with my mate, best fun to be had (none of this newfangled x800xt super fps pixel shading dx9 hl2/doom3 stuff).

One day it was 'old school' time, I bought CNC red alert and the aftermath? off trademe for $10.. mint condition etc sure was a birthday to remember.

I used to spend AGES online (in SA, where you have to PAY per minute of online time to the telephone company, as well as your ISP.... ) playing Action Quake (2 I think). I loved the realism like head shots and stomach shots being fatal. Leg shots could be bandaged, different weapons were effective in different ways....... ahh

[MrMelon]

Yeah I played action quake hardout for a couple of years :O

[v.ros`]

Counter Strike lad here.... tried Quake but needed something more "realistic" - thus going for Counter Strike.

Was fun bak in the good ol days - now its all cheats !!! May they burn in HELL

Quake 1

anyone play here?

up for a game?

Try DOOM 3.. it is awesome. The game gives you goose bumps.

[Drunken Monkey]

Doom 3 has awesome sound, graphics and gameplay, yet was oddly repetitive and slow going. Not even close to enough monsters to deal with at once and too many enclosed spaces. Multiplayer was unfortunately a big flop. After the nostalgia died, it was just plain ordinary. Quite frankly, I was disappointed with iD's effort.
Is there an RA or CTF for D3 yet?

When I download Quake and log on to Pyro's server, pheaR mY m4d l33t haX0|2 Qu4D d4|\/|4%3 sk!llz. Or not, as the case may be. Let the scores speak for themselves...
