Tonight's Game Night - Quake

Jody Robinson
By Jody Robinson, Community Manager

Happy Birthday Quake!

The legendary Quake turns 15 years old today. This game pretty much goes back to some of the greatest first-person shooters out there. Did you know that modifications were some of the coolest things back then that have spun off games you have come to love and adore? If game developers didn't allow modifications, we probably wouldn't see games today like Team Fortress 2 and Counterstrike. So, let's remember this game for its rich community by playing tonight! We'll explore modifications if we can get them to still work, share memories, watch some machiima videos from way back then, and more. and much more. So tell us what you'd like to try out and we'll continue to play to our heart's content!

We'll start playing around 4 p.m. Pacific time tonight. Fun times will be had with the free and full version of the game. If you'd like to get in some practice and download the freeware version early, drop by nQuake http://nquake.com/. Here's the chatroom link, which requires the latest java to be installed.

Share your experiences in the comments if you played before or if this will be your first time playing the game.

Jody Robinson's vocabulary consists mainly of first person shooters because of her Quake roots. She's also rather fond of RTS and MMO games.

Quake was such a fast shooter it was too much for me. I DID play Quake 3 though on Xbox. It was pretty cool.

this is hard to get working I own quake on steam and i'm trying nquake. No luck so far. I got nquake to not crash on start by turning on compatibility mode to windows 95
