How did you get into Quake?
Via Doom in around 1994. My brother and I first got the Doom shareware from some crazy department store shareware disc (since we did not have internet access), along with a bunch of other games. After playing and liking both the ROTT and Doom shareware demos, we went and purchased both games. We played the two games religiously on our two PCs linked with an (now completely obsolete) null modem cable for years, until I finally got dialup access in late 1996. That was the magic year, and all the sites were ablaze with the news of Quake's release. We were quick to get our hands on the shareware, downloaded from ZDNet's hotfiles.com, which at the time meant something.
