Originally posted by Radec View PostI recently bought Quake and believe it be one my greatest games ever. The top of the range in my libary of games include Dark Forces I, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, Quake, Quake II, Quake III Arena, Unreal I, Unreal Tournament 99, Killzone 1 and 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City and 4. If you like these games your a friend of mine, if you think they are the 12 greatest games ever then your my brother.
Like I said, I'm new to Quake. I bought Quake, Armagon and Dissolution within a week of each other and looking forward to playing all three games after my exams.
Apart from sniping people on Killzone 2 or reliving great memories with 90's classics, I try to go out on my bike as often as possible and soon I'll be going to Uni.uakene.com

Originally posted by whodaman View Postwow, i had to pull out my old quake cd case and install it again. To this day, it's still the best online experience i had in my life. So much fun..still better than left 4 dead, counter-strike, cod 4, team fortress 2, and tons of countless games i've played since..... Plus, back then, not many games in the market to compete with quake anyway...and even if there were, quake in 1996-1998ish was king of the world.
Lol@ netscape dialup advertisement during cd install ...such memories
anyway, i used to go by who daman and the janitor
primarily a ctf player. Used to play on hell-ctf ran by a guy named terrorist and some other ctf server that used to play the e4m3 type maps....
Played in a 3wave ctf league a few times, also played in a regular ctf league too
anyway, hi. I'll be frequenting these forums nowuakene.com

After over a decade, I am please to see the Quake One community is continuing to stay active. Since 1998, I have been enjoying fragging (and being fragged by other) Quake players on Mplayer.com and Netquake. From what I could remember, I was a part of a number of Quake One interest groups, including UN, LOA, S2, In10sity, CVJ, and 403. Please feel free to contact me if you were a part of any of those groups and wish to catch up -- I would love to hear from you.

Hey I'm Brad SPiTT!
I've been on Quake Since my friends shareware copy and my personal retail copy. NIN + Quake OST = FTW.
We used to be a bunch of lpbs running amuk in clan servers.
HellSpawn And Armagon were our tags. I evolved into Orbital after getting banned too much.
I used to regularly submit artwork to planetquake.com back in... 05-06? I still drop one here and there.
I'm a Graphic designer/ Illustrator.
Quake Has been my only game ever that I've based all other games around.
Quake is the BAR of Standards, and well... lets face it. the Bar HIGH. REAL high.
Halo just can't compare. Unreal is just a poor impostor. Q3a is still kickin.
And I still have not gotton Quake Live to work. or i would be on that all the time.

Since you've played Q3 Arena, your not missing out on much except less levels from what I have gathered. The skill base is decent for Q3,except for close - quater combat also gathered from recent playing.
I use FireFox to play it,I hate IE8 and will continue to avoid installing it until it becomes mandatory....just like XP is slowly becoming phased out. *cough DX10*

Really haven't used QuakeOne but started digging here recently and figgered it was time I did the formal intro:
Oldendirt, aka Scott. First played Quake back in the late 90's. Played for a couple of years as Fodder until I quit, what with divorce and single parenthood and promotion in the workplace... picked it up again, oh, a year or three ago. Quite pleased to see a real community among players. Mostly I visit shmack for a quick runequake fix in between RL activities.
It seems like I work on computers ALL FREAKING DAY so I'm not so regular a poster, much preferring spending my free time around a bonfire with a beer in my hand and friends around me. However it's long past time I should've introduced myself here.

So I just found QuakeOne this weekend after being struck by the Quake bug again after about a year. I started playing Quake in college when it first came out, watched the demo on a 486 and shook my head at how poorly it ran, only to be blown away weeks later with the release and the massive imrpovement in gameplay.
I've never gotten over my passion for Quake, perhaps because of how much time in college was devoted to playing it with my best friends. We'd commandeer the computer lab every night, installed it on every system for us and any wanderers who came by, and then played until they evicted us at 1:00am and cleaned the machines off.
When Runewars came out, we played that. When CTF was revealed by Void, we were blown away again. It was like a completely new game. We started a clan to compete with others from outside the school when teamfortress hit the scene. Called ourselves CUiH or C U in Hell, since Clarkson University was our alma mata. We devoted hours to the playing on the famous Southpark server when it was up. I remember AoA, BrB, DJedi, and hundreds of other players. It used to be a battle just getting on when QWTF was at its prime.
I started making maps, though none ever got accepted. I worked on a map to practice rocket and grenade jumps only to find someone made a better one just as I was finishing up mine. I started focusing on a massive map that collapsed when my computer couldn't handle all the polygons. Eventually, I graduated, people started playing other games, but my love for Quake never went away. I tried for years to get back into map-making but found it difficult what with worldcraft becoming a TFC-only editor. So this weekend when I found QuakeOne and discovered the upgrade install to allow you to use worldcraft for Quake again, I was ecstatic. And I am once again blown away when I come to these forums and see so many people hanging out here, chatting about Quake, setting up servers to play on... it's awesome.
Quake will never die.

hi aaa, welcome to the site. been enjoying playing you lately. seen you on shmack, and you should know that bot accusations are part of the culture there and entirely meaningless. if you get called a bot, that's how you know you're having some success

Hi everyone. My real name is Jake, online I'm either known as dreadlorde, dread, or jt_. I started playing quake in 2001, but stopped playing for some reason. I've just started playing quake again and have a great interest in map making, death match, and CTF. I've mostly been playing Quake III: Arena, but playing Quake single player has been a lot more fun than I remember, and that has been occupying most of my free time.Gentoo Linux

Intro
I popped onto QuakeOne site a few times before, but now I finally registered because I am looking to seriously get back into Quake 1 online play.
I started playing Quake 1 online just out of high school when the game was brand new. My very first online experience was on a 486 with 28.8k modem. It was horrible looking back now, but I had to reduce the screensize to the very smallest size and even then my framerate was probably less than 10 fps...lol. BTW, wanting to play Quake 1 on the internet forced me into using Win95, because I still say DOS beats any version of windows.
Having 350 avg ping and such horrible frame rates, I could not really play DM. But, I discovered Threewave CTF and started playing that almost exclusively. Still, due to the PC I was using, I could do little more than make flag runs and find really good hiding spots until our flag was returned, then cap it.
Later, I would start working for an internet cafe in downtown Portland, Oregon. The cafe had 20 PCs with TV sized monitors and a T1 connection, pretty much god-like connection for the time when most still had only 56k.
The T1 connection really helped, but the PCs were still not that great, Cyrix chips (1990 Intel Pent. Clones [only very badly made]). So my gameplay went to an avg ping of 50 to framerates of about 10-30.
Still, I was able to really play the game more and played almost every night for 1 year on west coast CTF servers. After a while, I made friends with server regulars and ended up forming a CTF clan (social clan, really, no league play). The clan was called Sixin's Fire Dragons, SFD. I went by the name Scribble[SFD]. I got the name from a book called "Vurt" by Jeff Noon. I hope to make contact with some of my former clan mates as they were really good CTF players and friends. Probably anyone reading this hasn't heard of our clan, but maybe some player names: Rom, Weave, Lazybastard, Erok, Soth, Dead Perez, etc. are who I remember best. Some of you might know Rom at least, as he finished in the top 10 of the VERY first Quake 1 competition (the one where Thresh won Carmack's car).
I believed I stopped playing back sometime in 1998, and briefly came back for when Quake 2 was released, reformed SFD CTF clan, but stopped again soon after. So, it has been about 10 years since I was into the Quake 1 community, but after all those years, I realized the most fun gaming I have ever had was that one year playing Threewave CTF in Quake 1.
I have played other Quake 1 mods, but Threewave CTF remained and remains my top choice for Quake 1 play.
My favorite CTF maps were Two Towers, Spill the Blood, Ruins of Neominok.
Other mods that I really like and would like to play again are:
Headhunters
Capture the Llama
If anyone wants to play Threewave, Headhunters, or Capture the Llama, please message me, I would love to play!
I also used to play some TW CTF and TF, but my favorites are the above mentioned.
