Hello.
I started playing shareware quake online before you could buy the full version in stores. I remember Howard Stern did a radio commercial for Quake once the registered ver. came out. Got it ASAP, beat the game and started back online right away. My big sister and her boyfriend introduced me to it, I was maybe too young to play back then but I'm 22 now, didn't take a break on purpose just lost EVERYTHING I owned (besides what I could fit in my backpack) Found the full version at a friend's house and held onto it waiting for the day I could play again. Well here I am! Been back for about 2 months now and glad to be back. In case anyone remembers [which I doubt] my old name was THREEPWOOD. People ask me a lot "what kind of name is Fishdeath" or "what does it mean" honestly I have no direct answer other than it means many things.


I'll be seeing you

Is it supposed to be animated?

If so, you could email it to baker -- at -- quakeone . com and I'll take a look at it and see if I can that working for you.

I think tical has something to do with a band he likes. Another meaning of tical is a weed joint or something like that.

Hi all,

Been playing quake since late '96. Started playing dm online in late '96, too. I've been playing off and on since then and I can't believe it's been 10 years. I remember that Doom was the best thing out there and then all of a sudden Quake comes out. Wow. No one had ever seen anything like it before. Such great graphics and great 3d gameplay...I was hooked.

I remember we all used Windows 95. I found this URL that was on an old backup tape (lol) that i had: http://www.nconnect.net/~tookycat/quakenet.htm Wow, what an old webpage.

Anyway, I remember when ctf came out and threewave after that. Remember how PACKED the ctf servers were?! They were all packed no matter what time. I remember I would hop on the computer at 1 or 2am and they'd be packed. Also when we ALL were HPB's (I know u remember, too). Then around '97 more people had access to T1's or T3's at work, and some started to get cable modems. LPB's sucked!

I was in some clans: KQ, COD, RUM, so many others don't remember.

Anyway, I wanted to list some of the servers that I played on through the 10 years. The old ones sure were fun. Do you remember some of these old ones?

Quake has been and always will be the best game. No quake II, III, IV, or even 10 will ever compare to the sheer SHOCK that we all got when there was nothing else like it and played quake for the first time. Hooked for life.
