Func_Msgboard: Quake 10th Anniversary Thread

Posted by Mr Fribbles on 2006/06/24 10:10:18

In honour of Quake's 10th birthday, I give you the Quake 10th anniversary thread!

Celebrate! Tell us your Quake stories... the first time you played... crazy deathmatch moments... your favourite Quake experiences... whatever, there's never been a better time to indulge in a little reminiscence!

What does Quake mean to you? What are your current and future plans for maps, mods, engines, etc? Do you see yourself playing or editing Quake in another 10 years time?

Talk about these issues and anything else Quake related. I expect to see some crusty old-timers come out of the woodwork to reflect on the past 10 years of Quake, but I want everyone else to comment too!

IMO:

Quake is the best single player computer/video game ever.
It was the best when it was released 10 years ago, and its still the best today.

quakeworld is the best multiplayer game. It's best when you are playing opponents of your own skill level.

I still play Quake. Just on my xbox these days. Good control, looks very sharp. Loads faster then hell. QuakeX is the must have addition to Quake.

I remember my first impressions werent that great, I too liked duke3d better. But the more I played the shareware version, the mor eit grew on me. The monsters were evil, the locations were moody and the 3d thing finally hit me.

after that, matt sefton's site provided hours of fun and the great work rom you guys in the later years has made it arguably the best purchase I ever made.

Jeez!

Man this brings back memories!

Did the annual "stick my nick names in to google and see what comes out" manouvre and found my way here. Nice to see some names I recognise still kicking about!

Happy birthday Quake! You're still my favorite multiplayer game :)

Anyway, if anyone's interested, I'm putting together my own game now, coding it from scratch. If anyone's interested have a look at http://www.nunswithguns.net. It hasn't been updated in a while :/

I shall bookmark this site!

My first time:

I saw a Quake shareware CD at the register at a CompUSA. I was approximately 10 years old. Took the CD home, installed it on my dad's computer (P133 at the time, absolutely incredible), and started getting my ass absolutely KICKED on e1m1.

I played a lot on our 2 computers, over null modem cable(!), with one of my best friends after school...

A few years later I discovered qboard (I think it was that incarnation of "the board") and irc. The rest, as they say, is history...

Oh, and then I released a map and went idle and now it's 2006 :P
