  • Greetings. I just found this site after getting a bit of nostalgia and clicking around. I have not played more than a few games for the majority of this century, but my motivation for joining this forum is because I'm a little bit of a Quake historian. I have an extensive collection of Q1 NQ clan 4v4 demos from the old days - from various tournaments, lans, etc - that I can share to any fellow old-schoolers who may be interested. As for myself, I played competitively from around 96-99, with various clans and handles.

    • Hi.

      I played Quake on HEAT and MPlayer around like 1998-2001. Was in clan LTK for most of that time (mid-1999 til late 2001) and that was really the only clan I was in, so I decided to keep it as part of my name.

      I recently reinstalled quake on my computer for nostalgia and got bored with the reaper bots after about 5 games, so I was searching google to find if anyone still played, came across this site.

      I pretty much only played Team Fortress back then. I see you guys play a lot of CTF and Clan Arena... I'm down with that, but I'd prefer TF. Anyone know any servers that still host it? I was a pretty sweet demoman and medic back then.

        There is still some Team Fortress activity, check out www.quakeservers.net and click Quakeworld and then click "With Players". There is still usually a TeamFortress game going on most times in the evenings.

        • Hey all. I've been away for like a year but I'm been getting back into Quake, so I'll say "Hi" again.

          • Hello, I am Odelay13 real name is Bill. I had always thought that custom trucks were addicting until I realized how much quake I play. In 1996 A friend of mine Jon E. Walked into my FIT dorm room, told me to get out of my computer chair he showed me quake. I have been hooked ever since.

            My friends now all play halo. I hate walking around levels getting sniped while thier buddies hump you to claim the kill.

            I play at shmack all the time so see you there.

            Thank you to baker and directz for all your help! Good peeps

                • An intro (what else?)

                  Hi,

                  I am Laszlo Menczel, I live in Hungary. I am a biologist and also an addict of FPS games. I have played Wolfenstein, Doom1, Doom2, Heretic, Hexen, Quake, Quake2, Quake3, Unreal Tournament, UT2003. My alias is 'Speaker' (derived from the name of an alien character in the book 'Ringworld' by Larry Niven). I am unknown in Quake circles because I never played on public servers. I prefer to start my own server and play with a couple of friends whom I know personally and can trust. (BTW, we are currently looking for other players to join us, see my previous post on this forum.) If you want to know more about me, visit the WEB site http://menczel.extra.hu.

                  In addition to playing I also like to make maps. I have not released any maps for Quake, but I have submitted a couple of Unreal Tournament maps (can be found at NaliCity). This may change though, because recently I discovered Worldcraft 3.3 and the excellent Quake adapter. With this combination it is really easy to produce Quake maps (as far as the technical aspects are concerned). Thanks, Baker!

                  I have also done some game programming. I have modified (enhanced? a good question...) Quake III Arena. My version (called Q3M, available at the WEB site mentioned above) has faster gameplay, better weapon models, optional spawn protection, a flexible weapon selection scheme, better bot management, etc. At present I am working on a C library which will provide built-in voice chat capability (a la Teamspeak) to open sourced networked games like Quake.

                  During the last three years we have played only UT. We returned to Quake because one player (who joined us a month ago) just couldn't make UT work on his laptop. So we said: Let there be Quake! And we saw that is was good.

                      We have many former IHOC players. Mindzfield, myself, Phenom, EzJack and probably 10-15 others with various names that play intermittently.

                          • Holy canary kebab. I have read all the thread. Every post. Took me two hours I think and 3 mugs of coffee.
                            So now I know almost everything about all of you.
                            And nobody knows me. Well, I have been posting in the forums already without saying my hoi, hi and hello here.
                            So...
                            Hoi !
                            I am Carol from The Netherlands.
                            I play Quake 1 online since the end of 1996 with the name BuurVrouw which means lady neighbour.
                            Recently I gone over to play more QuakeWorld which is truly a culture shock. Taking time to get used to the horrible playstyle with the campers, quadpussies and spawnfraggers. But I do love the speed and the fact that there is always servers/players around to kill, no matter what time of day or night.
                            I might try out a few q1 us servers if my ping will allow me to play there.
                            Further addictions that I have besides quake is coffee and spamming my boring bits.
                            That's it for now I think.
                            I'm not much of a talker.
