For those of you old and/or geeky enough to remember, the internet in 1996 existed for only one purpose - for bulletin boards and forums to serve as the battleground for the most important question in the history of mankind: which was the better of the unreleased Quake and Duke Nukem 3D. In the mid 90s, there was no such thing as a first-person shooter. There was Doom, and then there were Doom-clones. And while the world of video games saw many valiant attempts to dislodge the scary demonic game from its throne of first-person based mayhem, none were so hotly anticipated as Duke Nukem 3D (made by rival shareware publishing house Apogee), and id's next venture, ...  Read the complete review

Genre: First Person Shooter Released: 1996 Created by: ID Software Soundtrack by: Trent Raznor This was one of the first games I played over a network playing against other people in my college.

For those who don't know what the game is (which I would guess would be the TRS-80 web surfers among us), it's a basic first person shooter in the Doom/Duke3d style. ...  Read the complete review

When i started playing Quake i was young(er than i am now), and inexperienced (this applies for all Quake games), it was fun!! Nothing was better than killing a few Zombies before going to sleep. When i started to play on the internet it was a whole new world. Some people are shitheads and cheat while others stay in the corner, and camp (a term where people stay in one place in a slight advantage to those who are not expecting them). Still this was fun, and also considerrably harder than playing alone in ones house. One of my main tasks was to try and join a clan. One clan said that they would offer me a place if i played well (P.S. never spend your whole life infront of  Read the complete review
