I didn't properly get into Quake until the 3rd. I was still an Amiga-boy when the original launched. Even then it wasn't until I played the Dreamcast one. On PC, I had Unreal Tournament, and that was more than enough. On the Dreamcast, UT didn't quite feel right, and I preferred QIIIA instead. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Yeah I was still rocking with the Amiga when Q1 was released (1996), but when I got we got our first PC (Pentium 150Mhz (which I overclocked to 166Mhz  )) it was on of the first games I bought... must have been around '97...Never got into UT.

I was REALLY into UT. With all the mods maps and mutators, the gameplay was seemingly endless. I had a PS1 styled gamepad for the PC, and found that holding the right hand side of the controller in my left hand, so I had easy access to all four face buttons and the two triggers, worked really well with the mouse in my right hand. Mmmm.. Power Destruction!! I see Epic are looking to relaunch UT, with their Online "Free to play" Pre-Alpha thing (which has seemingly been there for quite a while). .. But. Honestly, I just don't trust modern games. You KNOW that every single mod, map and mutator is going to cost £££ each, nowadays. Bastards!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I was never into the original Quake - I preferred Doom. I loved Quake II though. Had Q3 on Dreamcast, and enjoyed a fair few local PvP matches. but really, that was it. If there are other Quake games, I haven't played them and don't really care. I also preferred the TimeSplitters games to Quake too. |

Timesplitters was awesome! Been playing it recently on the Dolphin GameCube Emulator. Aaah, memories. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

The new early access Quake isn't too bad, unfortunately it makes me motion sick like nothing else. I miss Unreal Tournament 2004 and you can't beat the feel of the old Quake 3 engine games. -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |

It was my first FPS game. After seeing Warcraft and Command and Conquer I sold my Amiga and went PC. The phonebill for online play with Quake was quite something back then. Also me and my brother went to a couple of Local Quake Lan Parties.

Literally was just checking out Quake stuff today, not even realizing there was an anniversary around. Cool. I really enjoyed the first 3 Quakes. To be honest, my first Quake experience & first online gaming community was Quake 3 Arena. Spent many fun late nights playing that one. Then my brother and I (the other half of ProHiScore Studios) got into modding Q3A. Did a lot of that, building maps, creating skins and weapons, etc. I definitely went backwards and played Quake 1 and 2 at some point. Thoroughly enjoyed those too. Especially liked the fact that Trent Reznor (NIN) did the soundtrack for Quake 1. Still have my copy of Quake 3 Arena somewhere around here with the original documentation to boot.
